The "opening act "for the German Ivory Museum is the Blackbox, a 60 sq m immersive media room where visitors experience an 8-minute audiovisual installation. The visitor is invited to explore the piece's structure by wandering through the installation and re-contextualizing its meaning. Spatial sound design, voice-over, and music complement the visual content as a further associative layer. THE SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN executed the technical planning of the 16.2 channel sound system and its installation, and MNTN was used for mixing the spatial audio content.
