Tetragon Project
Ascension
With Ascension, the Tetragon Project presents a groundbreaking album that redefines the boundaries of immersive 3D sound. At the heart of the project is composer and audio producer Stefan Zaradić, once again serving as the creative driving force behind the musical vision. Following the success of Oracles (2021), Zaradić expands the sonic palette with Ascension, blending avant-garde soundscapes with pulsating rhythms to craft a unique and captivating listening experience.
Zaradić is supported by a distinguished ensemble: long-time co-producer and acclaimed saxophone and flute player Wolfgang Opitz, and percussionist Wolfram Winkel, an expert in minimal music who has gained international recognition through collaborations with Steve Reich, among others.
Compared to its predecessor Oracles, Ascension ventures into new territory: powerful beats and rhythmic pulses weave through the intricate soundscapes, shaped by intensive improvisation sessions, adding a dynamic and cinematic depth to the album. With Ascension, Stefan Zaradić once again showcases his talent for crafting innovative sound worlds, further establishing the Tetragon Project as a trailblazer in immersive audio design.
Guest performances by Melanie Bong and Martin Kälberer.

Immersed
Justin Gray’s Immersed is a cinematic album composed, recorded, and produced from the ground up for immersive audio.
Featuring 38 artists from around the world, the project places the listener at the center of a 360-degree orchestra, surrounded by performances from all directions. Created by Juno Award-winning bassist, producer, and engineer Justin Gray, Immersed celebrates artistry and collaboration, drawing on diverse musical influences that include jazz, Indian classical, and global music traditions.
Every sound on this album was performed, recorded, and produced with specific immersive intent. The result is an experience in which the Dolby Atmos mix isn’t a translation of the music; it is the music. The film’s stunning visuals connect the audience to the musicians in the studio, capturing the joy and intensity of the recording process in dialogue with dance, art, and the natural world.
