CT::SWaM New Ear:: Spatial [formerly CT::SWaM] is an event series that emphasizes spatial sound work and focused listening.

New Ear’s Spatial Listening program focuses on spatial sound works, where the distribution and localization of sounds is a primary compositional parameter and a central feature for the listener. These works consider architectural, acoustical and technological factors in exploring the complex and dynamic relationship between sound and space. The formats are open and include contemporary sound exper

iments, electro-acoustic multi-channel composition, improvisation, non-traditional performance configurations, lowercase artistic presence, and workshops – all of which diverge from a fixed perspective on audible space.​

Many of the spatial-sound workshops and presentations take place in New Ear’s dedicated eight-channel listening room located at Fridman Gallery, 169 Bowery, New York, NY 10002. Current Team:: Daniel Neumann – Director; Lee Gilboa – Curator; Maxi Glenn – Production Assistant.
