At CES 2020, Ricky Graham, PhD, was looking for music fans and found plenty. To beckon people toward his startup, Delta Sound Labs, he had set up a motion-capture simulator. Moving bodies made the colors shift and swirl on an imposing display screen, and reshaped the electronic music firing from a tabletop speaker.

Graham, the program director at Sears think[box], was promoting his music production software, a plug-in he calls “Stream.” But with his doctorate degree in music technology, he’s conversant in the array of hi-tech tools available to musicians and music producers. Listen as he explains why “immersive sound” is the future.
