The sixth edition of the AllAroundAudio Symposium discusses current trends and developments from the perspectives of sound and music.

The sixth edition of the AllAroundAudio Symposium discusses current trends and developments from the perspectives of sound and music.
The symposium is not only addressed to industry experts and creative minds in the media but encourages researchers and designers from other fields in particular to participate in identifying new transdisciplinary intersections and fields of interest for future collaboration.
Originally planned for November 2020, we had to cancel the 6th AllAroundAudio Symposium on short notice due to the 2nd COVID-19 lockdown. We are now seizing one of the first opportunities to catch up with an almost identical programme.
