Content distribution company, Underground Slate, has announced a six-month residency in partnership with sound specialists d&b group at the Immersive Technology Experience Center, located at the Science Museum, London.

This collaboration is designed to “accelerate the future of immersive audio-visual storytelling.” Throughout the residency, Underground Slate will use d&b’s Immersive Technology Experience Center as a platform for developing and showcasing independent projects that explore the creative boundaries of sound, space, and narrative—powered by d&b audiotechnik’s Soundscape technology. This spatial audio system delivers precision, clarity, and deeply emotional resonance through 360° sonic environments.

“This residency is about putting independent content at the forefront and creating space for true creativity to thrive,” said Tomasz Witkowski, Co-Founder of Underground Slate. “With d&b audiotechnik’s Soundscapetechnology, we’re not just amplifying sound—we’re amplifying vision. We’re giving artists the tools to tell immersive, emotionally resonant stories in bold new ways.”

The first initiative of the residency will be a creative partnership with Andy Turner, founder of AT Creates Studio—a 360-degree content company specialising in live production, immersive visual storytelling, and original IP development.

“We’re proud to champion storytelling that’s fearless and emotionally powerful,” said Andy Turner, Founder of AT Creates Studio. “This partnership with Underground Slate and d&b group lets us break out of the frame—creating living, breathing worlds you can hear, see, and feel. It’s a platform for true artists and real ideas.”

Martin Monov, Commercial Enablement Manager at d&b group, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Underground Slate to the d&b Immersive Technology Experience Center. This partnership reflects our mission to stretch the creative and technical boundaries of storytelling. Supporting independent voices with d&b Soundscape is what drives our innovation.”

One of the headline initiatives to emerge from this collaboration will be ThE ToYMaKeR’s KeY—a new British independent multi-platform franchise from AT Creates Studio that spans comic books, cinematic motion comics, music, film, and live immersive experiences. “Rooted in UK creative talent and innovation, ThE ToYMaKeR’s KeY highlights the power of original British content on the global stage.”
