ACMI and RISING present

The Listening Room

The Vinyl Factory: Reverb After Hours

When

Fri 22 May – Sun 7 Jun 2026

See below for additional related events

An acoustically tuned, deep listening sanctuary that helps you sink into sound.

With an intimate capacity of 50 people, The Listening Room space instils records with an elevated audio quality and richness, via the Australian designed and manufactured Pitt & Giblin sound system.

After hours, the room hosts one-off sessions, talks, and listening parties from RISING artists who you wouldn’t usually get to see up close. Yasmine Sharaf (Triple R's Cease + Desist), a specialist in underground sounds, has curated the first drop of artists — with more to be announced soon.

The Listening Room is open during exhibition hours for visitors to select and listen to records from The Vinyl Factory’s collection.
