A partnership between Lighthouse Guild and Knock at the Gate is bringing an immersive audio experience to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, offering the opportunity to enjoy Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” in “surround sound” virtually from any location. Surround sound is a technique that enriches “the fidelity and depth of the reproduction of sound by using multiple audio channels from speakers that surround the listener.” This immersive audio experience is designed for dark environments using headphones to transport “listeners to the mystical depths and shores of Shakespeare’s magical island…” in this final work of the renowned playwright. For more information and to register, visit the webpage announcing that Lighthouse Guild and Knock at the Gate present The Tempest: a Surround Sound Odyssey. Learn more about the technique on the wikipedia webpage describing Surround Sound.
