Bilateral cooperation towards social and aesthetic innovations on ambisonics practices and presentations

Utilizing the Ambisonics method of recording, mixing, and reproducing three-dimensional 360-degree audio, the initiative brought to life a musical piece generated in Bergen, created in collaboration between Portuguese composer Niggafox and Norwegian artist Bjørn Torske. The composition was later presented in both Bergen and Lisbon. A highly reputable sound system was set up to showcase the piece to a broader audience in a central space in Lisbon.

Simultaneously, the EEA Grants facilitated collaboration with the Ekko Festival. This close working relationship allowed us to jointly select artists and exchange ideas and knowledge about Ambisonics, its setup, and its presentation to the public, both in Lisbon and Bergen, marking the pinnacle of bilateral relations, as proposed by the EEA Grants.
