360º Film & Editing + Original Score
by Carlos Johns-Dávila

For While You Wait… 2.0, supported by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, my approach combined immersive sound design and composition to deepen a site-specific 360° video dance experience rooted in isolation and connection. Created for Inwood Hill Park, the work invited audiences into an open-ended narrative shaped by performers’ interpretations of community during lockdown. I developed an ambisonic score using field recordings from the park, transforming natural sound into harmonic structures that embedded the environment directly into the piece. This work reflects my approach to immersive media as a way of amplifying place—using sound, movement, and spatial storytelling to foster connection, even within conditions of distance and separation.
