Empty Room is a project dedicated to the exploration of new musical composition and spatialization methods in virtual 3D spaces.

In Empty Room the user moves freely trough a virtual plateau in the middle of a giant hypercube orbiting over the earth. All around and inside the plateau a genuine electroacoustic composition is combined to an abstract and ever changing organic visual environnement. Three different perception of space are displayed : vaste and aerial, occlusive with perception shifts, extreme and reduced space sensation. Duration : 10′

The project was initiated by Christine Webster at EnsadLab Spatial Media laboratory and launched for the public in 2015 and is still ongoing. Empty Room is also a constant research and work in progress project focusing on specific aspects when VR is associated to experimental music, considering new composition and in-game spatialization possibillities and establishing new relationships between the composer and the listeners trough the VR scene.

Empty Room was presented in the many exhibitions, among Acces festival in Pau in 2015 ;  Happy Cube Day at the CUBE in Issy les Moulineaux ; Laval Virtual revolution en 2019 et Virtual Reality Showcase National Museum in Singapore in 2017.
