Led by Professor Nikos Stavropoulos and Dr Alan Dunn, this research group is concerned with spatial music and sound art within the Leeds School of Arts. Housed in the state-of-the-art LSA Building, the work of the group covers four main areas: technical (spatial audio systems and tools); cognitive-aesthetic (perception and reception of spatial sound/music); theoretical-analytical (understanding and conceptualising spatial music); and practice-based (composing and performing spatial music, including in social settings).

The cluster’s work includes sound installations, mobile sound applications, music composition and live performance, film and VR film, and community workshops and, in addition to new musical compositions, the cluster has a strong focus on place, conducting extensive research on location-oriented and sound-centred art practice. Overall, the work examines the creative potential of everyday soundscapes, sound-making, and listening, as well as their relationship to place and capacity to foster deeper engagement with it.
