Spatial Audio Week: Mutable Presences & Unscripted Bodies
An evening of live improvisation featuring two ensembles.
One explores shifting textures and resonances through electroacoustic sound, while the other brings together movement and sound in shared space. Together, they create a raw, unplanned experience—where presence is always in motion and expression unfolds in the moment.
Performers
- Dancers (Ammattiopisto Live): Satu Sulonen, Cathrina Laukkanen, Enna Mansikkamaki, Nelli Saukkonen, Aarne Oljakka, Nita Willberg.
- Musicians: Aino Latvala, Tyko Vaskivuori, Viljami Vallden, Otso Kauniskangas, Lumi Mannermaa, Juulia Haverinen, Elja Markkanen
- Coaches: Jasmiina Sipilä, Libero Mureddu, Alejandro Olarte
Changes are possible.

Spatial Audio Week, 24.-28.11.2025
The Spatial Audio Week is a biannual symposium and festival organised by the Department of Music and Technology of the Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts, Helsinki. It assembles musicians as researchers, artists, and guest lecturers from the context of higher education in music across northern Europe. For the 2025 edition, participants are joining from most of the Baltic and the Nordic countries.
The topic of this year’s encounter is ‘Space and Place in Sound’ with the latter part of the week dedicated to a research symposium of that title. The focus of this week is about spatial music, its perception, composition, and tools and methods for producing electronic and electroacoustic music in various manners and styles of surround sound.
This year’s Spatial Audio Week combines a research symposium, listening spaces, workshops and masterclasses, a doctoral installation-performance and a series of spatial music concerts by members of the Music Technology community at Sibelius Academy and our national and international guests.
