Curator Series
A series of sessions curated by people and projects we admire. Brands, festivals, friends, and selectors invite us to listen through their ears. Here, what is heard matters as much as who chooses it.
We play the highest quality digital audio available on Apple Music through our Genelec reference system, in Dolby Atmos spatial audio format. An immersive experience that connects you with presence and depth. In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel on headphones.

why esuchando el espacio con Nacho Sotelo y Daniel Bitrán: sesión guiada para entender la música en audio espacial
How does our perception of music change when sound occupies a three-dimensional space? In this sona session, we’ll explore how a spatial audio experience is created and how the position, depth, and relationships between sounds transform the way we listen. Through musical examples and a guided conversation, we’ll discover the expressive possibilities of Dolby Atmos, the decisions that shape an immersive experience, and the details that can go unnoticed when we listen to music in the background. Joining us are two Grammy-nominated audio engineers, who will share their perspectives on sound in space and guide us toward a more mindful way of listening. Because understanding how music is constructed can also change the way we experience it.
