dBs Institute announces Innovation in Sound showcase for 2024

By Issy Packer  Wednesday Feb 14, 2024

Innovation in Sound exhibition is a free, public showcase of cutting-edge sound art pieces and performances produced by third-year undergraduate students at dBs Institute.

Taking place on April  25 at The Cellars at Bristol Beacon between 12pm and 10pm, the showcase will include a huge range of innovative and experimental projects.

The projects will explore the limits of sound, the application of audio as artistic expression and sound’s integration with emerging technologies.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Explaining the vision behind the annual Innovation in Sound exhibition, Dr. Emmanuel Spinelli, a module leader at dBs Institute, says: “It is an occasion to mix new technologies with a more conceptual, more meaningful approach to music-making.

“There is a whole industry out there based on non-commercial artistic practices that can serve to improve society, to improve well-being, to improve the way that we relate to each other, the way we live and music and sound are great tools to achieve that.”

From sound installations, immersive audio experiences, audio-visual work and experimental live performances, Innovation in Sound showcases Bristol’s young artists at the forefront of sonic experimentation.
