Stranger Than Kindness is back, now as a free virtual experience! If you missed the original Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition in Copenhagen back in 2021, here’s your chance to experience it again, this time completely online and for free!

The exhibition, created together with Nick Cave himself, takes you through 7 immersive rooms filled with music, stories, and personal objects. To bring the sound experience to life, the Danish AV specialist Stouenborg ApS used a full range of Meyer Sound loudspeakers including MM‑10, ULTRA‑X40, UPM‑1XP, UP‑4XP, UP‑4slim, and MM‑4XP to create detailed, powerful audio environments.

Now the whole installation has been transformed into a virtual 3D version, built from a high‑resolution scan of the original exhibition space. And there’s something new too: a brand‑new audio guide narrated by Nick Cave, recorded in 2025.

Hearing health has long been a recognized challenge in live sound across engineers, performers, venue staff, and audiences. While efforts once centered on individual responsibility, the conversation is shifting toward shared standards, education, and industry-wide accountability.

In recognition of World Hearing Day on March 3, Meyer Sound is highlighting its engagement in this shift through participation in global standards initiatives, education efforts, and partnerships focused on safer listening practices in live sound environments.

A key driver of this evolution is the World Health Organization’s Make Listening Safe initiative, which addresses venues and live events.
