Theatre-sized multi-sensory environments, 3D sound, interactive light installations and animated sea beasts are bought together via the cutting edge of audiovisual experiments in Future of Sound 2009 which launched at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex on 22 November 2008.

Future of Sound 2009 marries an international collective of vanguard musicians, animators, visual artists and digital masters in a nationwide tour of interactive multi-sensory performances, hosted by Martyn Ware.

Each show includes site specific performances that make every date on the tour a unique experience from the launch event at the De La Warr Pavilion to the tour's final and climatic 24-hour BFI IMAX event. Following the success of Future of Sound’s inaugural 2007 tour, 2009 brings new performers and innovations to six UK venues and introduces a new strand to the programme: Future of Light.

In addition to evening performances, Future of Sound will feature a series of afternoon lectures that showcase the science behind the innovations and their potential application in architecture, education and occupational therapy.
