Kyle is a creative technologist who specialises in audio programming, human computer interaction, spatial audio, and acoustics. Previously researching virtual acoustic reconstruction of ancient spaces in West Cornwall and Scotland, he has been exploring using game engines to recreate neolithic rock art sites and simulate how sound could be experienced in those spaces using archival materials and 3D data capture methods such as photogrammetry and LiDAR.

He currently runs the SpatLab - a specialist spatial sound studio with 16.1 speakers in a spherical array for exploring immersive audio formats. Based at the Royal College of Art, he supports staff and students with creating mixed reality experiences and mixing ambisonic audio for performance and film.

Kyle is one of Watershed Fellows in Residence as part of the MyWorld Ideas programme. He will spend six months in residence at Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios from mid-July 2025. This is a practice-based Fellowship investigating how cutting-edge acoustic technologies can be harnessed to create, manipulate, and transform sound in a virtual environment.

Wounded Buffalo are exploring how to both ‘capture’ and ‘measure’ impulse responses within virtual 3D spaces, and new approaches to spectral sound manipulation.

This Fellowship aligns with an ongoing R&D project at Wounded Buffalo, which seeks to expand the creative possibilities of sound design by fusing physical acoustic theory with digital signal processing.

I'm excited to explore virtual acoustics alongside Wounded Buffalo Studios and MyWorld, and using it to explore methods to enrich and manipulate sound in exciting and novel ways.
