Our Story
Like most legendary bands, the origin story of WalkThruMusic began with a group of long-time friends nerding out over their favorite music. At the helm of this innovative venture is the ever-eccentric and endearing Zack Settel, whose passion for music and technology has shaped a career spanning over 25 years. With experience in music technology, composition, and immersive audio, Zack’s journey includes teaching at McGill University and the University of Montreal and long-term consultation with esteemed organizations like IRCAM and Yamaha.

Zack’s journey began as a musician frustrated by music performance technology that restricted his movement on stage, making playing music seem more like office work. Thus started his exploration and adaptation of 3D game engine style environments for music. Along the way, Zack noticed a serious shortcoming in the AR/VR world—while visual experiences were rapidly advancing, audio and particularly music integration lagged far behind. Driven by a desire to elevate music experiences by integrating them to highly immersive visuals, Zack founded WTM Technology. His groundbreaking creation, WalkThruMusic, utilizes patented technology that enables users to navigate and curate their own listening experiences using just headphones and a mobile device, allowing each to create a vivid, accessible and unique sonic journey.
With years of research and innovation in immersive music experiences, Zack has always focused on enhancing how we experience sound. WTM Technology represents the culmination of his vision to bring music to life in new physical and immersive ways, bridging the gap between sight and sound in AR/VR environments. He is joined by lifelong friend Doug Rohrer, a pioneering MTV Executive, who shares Zack's passion and drive to revolutionize the way we experience music.With years of research and innovation in immersive music experiences, Zack has always focused on enhancing how we experience sound.
