Abstract
This report presents a virtual reality (VR) sound installation project that aims to improve
listeners' audio perception by providing an immersive experience of the extended self in VR. The
project uses innovative audio technologies and visually captivating VR design to create an
interactive and engaging environment for individuals to explore the elements of a song or its raw
"mix." Through spatially mixed soundscapes, participants can experience a sense of depth,
immersion, and interactivity and engage with the audio through physical gestures and
movements. The question arises: How effective is virtual reality as a tool for enhancing the
perception and understanding of sound mixing and instrumentation in music production, and
what are key factors that contribute to its success or limitations?
