Spatial Audio Takes Twists and Turns on 'RiseNY' Interactive Experience

New York City’s renowned full-service audio production company Mr. Bronx Audio recently partnered with Super 78, composer Sami Jano, and Running Subway--the masterminds behind experiences such as the headline-making Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience and more--to build the immersive audio experience for the RiseNY, a unique interactive museum exhibit that combines galleries with a theme-park style ride in the heart of the Big Apple where visitors can enjoy soaring over the city. The ride is for all ages to enjoy to evoke the senses and have visitors of the city soaring to new heights, and opens December 15th.

Senior sound mixer Geoff Strasser blended sound and scenescape for the flight simulator ride, which lifts viewers 30 feet in front of a projection dome to create the experience of flying over New York City’s most exciting sights, surrounded by sounds of the city--including a few passes on the ride himself in-progress. Strasser sound designed the ride and mixed it in the theatre, located in Times Square, on a 7.1 system with 24 speakers for an entirely immersive experience. To guarantee a positive sonic experience for all visitors, Geoff utilised top audio equipment and expertise to give every seat an accurate audio backdrop of their beloved city.
