.INNOVATIVE FIELD RECORDINGS
We capture rhythms directly in their cultural context-plazas, festivals, and community gatherings around the world-using ambisonic 360° audio and 3D video. These recordings are then integrated into our virtual worlds, where native masters are digitally scanned so their technique, hand movements, and cultural essence remain intact. This ensures not only preservation, but faithful transmission of the rhythms for future generations.
