Has anyone attended one of these?

Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing : LISTEN | Envelop SF (9:30pm) Tickets, Mon, Mar 7, 2022 at 9:30 PM | Eventbrite

Curious, it doesn't mention any equipment details. Also doesn't say if it's from the quad master or some other source.

The CD I have of this claims that it's dolby surround encoded, wonder if that's all they're using. Regardless, intriguing.

This is the first I've heard of Envelop. New, I guess? They mention a 32-channel speaker system.

First time hearing about this.

Looks like maybe some kind of up-mix software, but haven’t found much about the source material used
They seem to be small “shoeless” events

I’ve heard of Envelop, it was a Kickstarter or Indiegogo or one of those types of projects, started by a (primarily ambient) musician Christopher Willits.

It’s a two pronged approach: a physical listening/performing arts space, and a software plugin to handle 32 channels.

He’s since released two binaurally mixed downmix albums using the tech Horizon and Sunset.
