Panorama Festival x Meta

360° Immersive Dome Sound

We teamed up with Meta, Invisible Light Network and Dirt Empire to create "The Dome," a novel 360° Virtual Reality theatre for the inaugural Panorama Festival in New York City. Best described as a psychedelic planetarium, Antfood composed 12 minutes of music and sound design, and constructed an unprecedented, spherical, 3-dimensional mix.

We used a custom, ambisonic workflow to place sound in 38 speakers throughout the 70-foot dome, with percussive delays bouncing across the space, swaths of synths swirling around you and sound design pulsing from the ground to the dome’s apex, all scored to the immersive, grand visuals. The piece warranted hour-long lines and was heralded as a highlight of the weekend, receiving press from Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Mashable and The New Yorker.
