Productions
New Media Laboratory, located at Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, is where we produce innovative audiovisual productions. These are based on experimental recordings and post-productions of ambisonic and surround sound.
The high-tech laboratory enables the development of new methods for the production of immersive materials.
As a result, we take an active part in the european research and development projects.
Anomalia
Concert of jazz band Anomalia As part of the research and development project Immersify, we recorded a series of experimental ambisonic recordings and multi-channel sound projection at Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center. A jazz band called Anomalia (members of which are students of the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań) was invited to […]

Ambisonic sound design for a laser scan of a nuclear shelter 360° video production is based on the visualization of data from laser scans of the fallout shelter located in Poznań. During virtual walk through all the rooms, it was possible to see historical equipment of the building from the 1960s. Sound design for the […]
Krambabula
Recordings of the Krambabula band made in “Okrąglak” building in Poznań The idea behind the production was to organize ambisonic recordings in a place with specific acoustics – in the iconic modernist building “Okrąglak” (round shape) located in Poznań. Due to it’s architecture, rooms are characterized by a very high reverberation time. Performance of the […]
Ambisonic radio plays
Production of ambisonic radio plays for blind children Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center started cooperation with School and Educational Center for Blind Children in Owińska and in March 2022 presented there two ambisonic radio plays. 360° sound, imitating authentic distribution of sounds in space, gave listeners opportunity to be fully immersed in a sound, so […]
Noise and Structure
Recording of an outdoor concert We also made experimental ambisonic recordings in open space, on the roof of the CBPIO building of Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center. Our production team recorded an instrumental composition by Jan Skorupa entitled “Noise and Structure” created for a string quintet with an additional electronic layer, presented in an eight-channel […]
Ars Electronica 2019
Presentation of audiovisual installation entitled “Immersive Ambisonic Audio” during the Ars Electronica Festival 2019 At art&science festival Ars Electronica 2019 we showed technological demonstration of combining ambisonic sound with 360° video. Demonstration space was prepared as part of european research and development project Immersify. This installation was built of 24 speakers and a synchronized VR […]
Ars Electronica 2020
Final Immersify demonstration at Ars Electronica 2020 Due to pandemic restrictions, the final demonstration was done as 8K streaming from the PSNC New Media Laboratory (Poznań) to Ars Electronica Future Labs (Linz), presented during Ars Electronica 2020 Festival.

Luxfest
Ambisonic recordings of the Luxtorpeda Concert One of the most interesting challenges was recording the Luxtorpeda concert in such a way that it could be played in the form of ambisonic sound. Opportunity to collaborate on the recording was the LuxFest Festival, which took place in July 2019. At that time, PSNC recorded concert in […]
