We create immersive sound for cultural spaces, digital worlds and live performance
What we do
Call & Response is a specialist spatial sound studio. We work with artists, curators, institutions, and brands to craft sound that moves through space — transforming how audiences experience stories, environments, and music.
From world-class museum exhibitions to live ambisonic performances and XR experiences, we bring creative vision and deep technical expertise to every stage of production. We embrace experimentation and innovation, continually exploring new ways to shape and experience sound.
