HOLOPLOT has announced the appointment of Carlos Mosquera as senior project engineer, where, based in California, he is initially focusing on deployments in the U.S. of the company’s X1 Matrix Array sound design and control platform.
“When the X1 system was demoed to me, it was mind-blowing,” Mosquera says. “I was sure that I could use the experience I have from both my professional and personal activities to help develop it even further.
“As a senior project engineer, my role is nothing short of thrilling,” he continues. “X1 has a lot to offer for live entertainment and immersive projects alike and I look forward to bringing this innovative technology to new and exciting applications. Right now, the first and foremost project for me is helping to make sure that the MSG Sphere music and entertainment arena in Las Vegas sounds exceptional. We have thousands of X1 cabinets installed in Sphere, so the atmosphere is bound to be electrifying.”
Born in Venezuela, Mosquera holds a B.A. in Sound Technology from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in the U.K. and first worked with organizations such as the L.A. Philharmonic, Colburn School of Music and Herb Albert School of Music at UCLA. In his previous position at L-Acoustics, he served as an L-ISA applications engineer and then as an audio developer for the company’s immersive audio technology.
He’s also contributed his work to shows such as Lorde, Lady Gaga, Childish Gambino, Alt-J, LBO, Deadmau5, Aerosmith, Bon Iver and others. Further, he developed Guiding Sounds, a positional app for the visually impaired that provides real-time location information without internet connectivity, and he also volunteers for Coachart.org, teaching children with serious illnesses about coding and music.
“My goal is to witness people experiencing sound in the way it was meant to be,” Mosquera concludes. “I am driven to find new ways to enhance people’s experiences. It’s about enabling people to savour music authentically. HOLOPLOT provides a fresh pathway to achieve that. To truly comprehend the transformative power of HOLOPLOT, one must experience it first-hand.”
He will be on hand at the HOLOPLOT X1 demonstrations at Oceaneering in Orlando being presented during the InfoComm 2023 show. Go here or here to reserve a space at a demo.
