Black Hole  is an artist-run center for multichannel audio located in Los Angeles.

It is a space where people can listen, think, discuss, and experience audio materials that are not possible with widely-distributed audio technologies for home, headphones, or cinema.

There is an expansive and internationally produced body of work addressing audio’s possibilities beyond representations of music, but there have never been widely accessible facilities to render it. BLACK HOLE’s primary goals are to slowly define a new type of listening space which will function as a research library, a production space, a platform for conversation and inspiration in relation to these materials, creating vectors into civic dimensions of listening and the definition of public space.

The Black Hole listening space required a careful balance of reflective and absorptive surfaces, each of which reach low in frequency for deep bass content. The modular room accommodates infinite combinations and locations of loudspeakers in service to multichannel audio content past, present and future.

Location Black Hole has left Los Angeles and will reopen in Tokyo in early 2026
