Join us for an evening of immersive music performances by YoungArts alumni from Philadelphia and beyond.

Artists with deep roots in Philadelphia will unveil new works in spatialized sound at this event devoted to collective listening, conversation, and the debut of the country’s most advanced spatial sound system: 4DSound. This cutting-edge system—one of only six in the world—is a thrilling site of experimentation where artists create sound installations through sonic holograms.

The evening will consist of works by Benjamin Louis Brody, James Allister Sprang, Jaleel Shaw, and Immanuel Wilkins. Following the presentation, we will celebrate collective joy and connection—everyone is invited to meet the collaborators and discuss how ongoing relationships between the Philadelphia arts community, YoungArts, and partners like Felt Void will continue to grow.

About Felt Void

Felt Void is a festival celebrating spatial sound and communal listening founded by artist and technologist James Allister Sprang. Felt Void creates sensory-rich environments where voices are not only heard but physically felt. At its core is the Felt Void Archive, a spatial sound initiative powered by Sprang’s rare 4DSOUND system. Through annual commissioning residencies, artists develop and spatialize new audio works supported by mentorship, collaboration, and intergenerational exchange. These works premiere as public listening sessions and travel as “festivals of listening,” expanding access to advanced spatial audio. 

More than a project, Felt Void is a movement dedicated to democratizing immersive technology, fostering collective listening while building a sustainable platform where artists can share powerful sensory narratives while generating long-term creative and economic opportunities.
