The centrepiece of SARC, the Sonic Laboratory, is a facility for cutting-edge initiatives in the creation and delivery of music and audio. According to QUB, the Sonic Laboratory offers a high degree of flexibility for experiments in 3D sound diffusion and for ground-breaking compositional and performance work within a purpose-built, variable acoustic space.
The center will be officially opened in April 2004 by Karlheinz Stockhausen a famous contemporary composer who has experimented and developed many new musical procedures and techniques; and in particular those associated with electronic music production accompanied with the spatial placement of sound sources along with graphical notation.
