“sound AS space” — Interview with Gerriet K. Sharma from spæs lab Berlin
Gerriet K. Sharma works where sound stops coming from speakers — and starts shaping space itself. In this interview, the composer and co-founder of spæs Lab Berlin talks about the IKO loudspeaker system as a genuine instrument, the persistent gap between technical progress and artistic practice, and why 3D Audio means far more than a marketing promise. A conversation about the sculpturality of sound, the future of spatial aesthetics — and the questions nobody in the spatial audio scene is asking out loud yet.
