The Best of Full Service RadioExploring the Boundaries of Space and Sound with KamranVKamranV experiments with quadrophonic sound and holograms to craft consumption experiences that challenge the ways audiences understand and engage with art and brands.

The Digital Music News PodcastQuadraphonic Sound Died In the 70s. So Why Is Somebody Bringing It Back?If you haven't heard of quadraphonic sound, join the club.
