The week ahead, Thursday November 5 through Sunday November 8, has one concert whose setting is inseparable from its music. On Thursday, Mouse on Mars open Sala Apolo’s permanent d&b Soundscape installation, giving Barcelona a rare occasion to hear a room introduced through an artist with a long history of treating placement, architecture and movement as musical material. The German duo of Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma arrive with Spatial, No Problem., their 2026 collaboration with Lee “Scratch” Perry. Its dub, ambient, krautrock, jazz and brass-informed materials give the evening a deliberately porous frame: dense enough for details to travel, loose enough for the room itself to become part of the composition.[1][2][3]

Sala Apolo calls itself the first concert venue in the Iberian Peninsula to install d&b Soundscape permanently. The system works with sound objects, allowing individual voices, instruments and effects to be positioned and moved through the venue. That technical description matters here because Mouse on Mars have pursued spatial listening in earlier projects, including installations with moving loudspeakers and works that activate particular architectural sites. This is a fitting match between group and room, where the interest lies in how a familiar club-scale space can redraw the relationship between stage, speakers and audience.[1][2][3]

A record built for active listening

Spatial, No Problem. gives the launch a human centre. Mouse on Mars’ official account describes the album as Perry’s final official album project, recorded over three days at the duo’s Paraverse Studio in Berlin in 2019 with a shifting group of collaborators. Perry’s presence brings a distinctive grain and history to music that moves freely across several stylistic lanes. The record moves across dub’s studio logic, electronic collage, ambient drift, jazz colour and New Orleans brass references. For listeners coming to the show through Perry, it offers an unusually direct route into Mouse on Mars’ experimental world; for longtime followers of the duo, it puts their interest in production as physical space sharply in view.[2][1]

There is precedent for that approach. d&b’s account of a previous Mouse on Mars Soundscape presentation describes the duo using spatial mixing to preserve the detail of densely layered collaborative material. Their earlier site-specific work has used loudspeaker objects, robotic percussion and acoustic reflections as active elements. Thursday’s show brings that lineage into focus: Mouse on Mars come to Sala Apolo with an established practice of composing around listening conditions, and the venue has installed a system designed to make those conditions audible.[2][3]

The practical route

Doors at Sala Apolo are scheduled for 19:30 on Thursday November 5, with the concert listed to begin at 20:30. MIRA Week also presents the date as a concert launching the new 360º Soundscape system, placing it within the festival’s citywide digital-art programme. Arrive with time to settle into the room and choose a listening position before the music begins; the event’s premise makes the space part of the programme. Recheck Sala Apolo and MIRA’s official pages before travelling for any changes to timings, access or tickets.[1][4]

Why this is the week’s trip

Barcelona’s calendar has plenty of reliable late-week options, yet this is the date that offers a specific first encounter: a new permanent listening format at Sala Apolo, introduced by artists whose catalogue already treats sound as something that can occupy, cross and reshape space. Mouse on Mars provide the musical argument, Spatial, No Problem. supplies the record’s vivid meeting of electronic experimentation and Perry’s singular voice, and the installation supplies the occasion. For one Thursday evening, the room is part of the bill.[1][2][3]
