The HISS

The Huddersfield Immersive Sound System (the HISS) is a loudspeaker orchestra specialised in the concert rendition of electronic music of all kind: multichannel fixed media, mixed music, laptop ensembles, contemporary experimental pop.

It is also a community of composers and performers that works around that system, and believe that its diversity is its richness. It is experimental in its nature, well anchored in quality equipment, and experimenting with different types and positions of loudspeakers, microphone techniques, human/machine interfaces, etc.

It is based at in the music department of the University of Huddersfield and currently coordinated by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay. It was made possible by the support of HEFCE's SRIF programme, and the University of Huddersfield's School of Music, Humanities, and Media.
