Ambisonic Tea Room is a temporary listening environment created by Polina Khatsenka and Andreas Ullrich, combining a multichannel spatial sound system with a simple tea-drinking area. The room invites visitors to slow down, inhabit sound collectively and experience listening as a spatial and bodily practice.
Throughout the residency, the space will host Ambisonic compositions and live sets alongside informal tea sessions, creating a setting for focused listening, grounding, conversation and shared presence. The setup is based on the modular OTTOsonics loudspeaker system, an accessible platform for working with Ambisonics and spatial audio outside of highly specialized institutional environments.
The project forms part of Polina Khatsenka’s PhD research into aural perception, sonic architecture and the role of spatial sound in shaping attention and our relationship to space, and continues the long-term spatial sound practice developed within the phonon~ crew.
SESSIONS SCHEDULE TBA
AMBISONICS TEA ROOM is part of Circuit Control Festival 2026 (organised by Metaknoten e.V.)
