I3DA: Immersive Media in Heritage, Nature and Consciousness - I3DA 2026 will again focus on innovation in 3D immersive audio, including virtual acoustics, architectural and musical acoustics, subjective evaluations and listening tests, immersive soundscape design, and creative uses of immersive technologies. Furthermore, I3DA 2026 will be a special edition, that will include visual and interactive aspects of immersive media, such as related computer graphics, LIDAR scans, photogrammetry, immersive world building, digital archaeology, 3D visualization, and hardware and software applications across both fields. The aim is to open new possibilities for collaboration, networking, and deeper understanding between complementary sensory domains in immersive media. Venice, Italy.

Akousma - International Festival Of Immersive Digital Music (formally Réseaux des arts médiatiques) is a concert production is a festival and company that showcases works by electroacoustic artists and collectives in Montréal. These works are presented via an immersive sound system, and they take several forms: acousmatic (tape music), mixed (tape and instruments), live (live electronics), video music, or music integrated into other art forms such as dance, performance, or installation.

The 2026 edition is entitled “Supernova”. Its starting point is the image of the supernova as a moment of extreme compression and explosion at the same time: an event in which microscopic processes, immense energies and cosmic dimensions overlap. Translated into artistic thinking, the festival explores how sound, space and time can be experienced at their boundaries – where familiar models become unstable and new forms of perception emerge.

The 5th Supersonique festival, organised by teachers from the electroacoustic composition classes at the Conservatoire and the Cité de la Musique in Marseille, in collaboration with the associations l’Art de Vivre and Dedans Dehors.

In May, we are organising the very first edition of IMMERSIA here at Notam. IMMERSIA is a new concert series presented as part of Notam Nights and curated by Mariam Gviniashvili. IMMERSIA is dedicated to spatial audio, and immersive sound experiences presented in an intimate and focused listening environment here at Notam.

17th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research. Hosted by University College London at UCL EAST.

Auditory Landscapes - From the soundscapes emphasizing environmental awareness to the auditory landscapes in the context of storytelling – from ambient music and musique spectrale to installation and land art: the usage, design, or simply the pointing to audible phenomena in an infinite variety of setups unifies artists and scientists from very different knowledge cultures.

The annual Gaudeamus festival in Utrecht is a unique international festival for contemporary music that showcases the diversity, vitality and quality of the music of the younger generation of composers and music pioneers.

Dirty Deal Audio in collaboration with Laidi Palace artist residency for the second year is launching an interdisciplinary residency programme focused on immersive performance and music productions. The residency offers a platform to explore sound and the local human and non-human communities of Kurzeme, Latvia. We welcome applications from sound artists, composers and performance makers across genres.

We are thrilled to continue the Global Sonic Research Residency 2026 at ZKM | Hertzlab, partnering with Arts Council Korea (ARKO) and the European Center for the Arts HELLERAU. This year, we select one Korean artist/researcher in addition to an already chosen artist/researcher roster, working at the frontiers of sonic arts to craft an immersive spatial sound experience probing the theme »Exoplanetary Voices«. This residency spans two premier European hubs for spatial sound and performance: ZKM | Hertzlab in Karlsruhe and HELLERAU in Dresden. Proposals should harness spatial audio to speculate on alien listening, extraterrestrial longings and human-exophonic entanglements.

Sound and Music Computing Conference is the annual international event of the Sound and Music Computing community, organised under the umbrella of the SMC Network, a global platform that supports research, artistic practice and education in sound and music computing. The 2026 conference will take place in Zagreb as part of Music Biennale Zagreb, bringing this year’s theme, INTERPLAY, into focus. The theme highlights the evolving relationships between humans, machines and sonic environments, and how these exchanges shape contemporary artistic and scientific work.
