Nils Peters, Georgios N. Marentakis, Stephen E. McAdams · Computer Music Journal · 2011
Spatialization, the synthesis of spaces and spatialproperties of sounds for a listener, is a growing fieldof interest for researchers, sound engineers, com-posers, and audiophiles. Due to broad and diverseviewpoints and requirements, the understandingand application of spatial sound is developing inmany ways. To benefit from varying viewpoints,individuals involved in artistic practice and thoseinvolved in theoretical or applied research needto engage in regular dialogue. Blesser and Salter(2006, p. 184) reported on the long-term relationshipbetween artists and audio researchers regardingvirtual spaces, which is “the story of an evolvingrelationship between sophisticated audio engineers,creating tools, and impatient artists, incorporat-ing such tools long before they are fully defined.” [...]
