Spatial composition in the multi-channel domain: aesthetics and techniques
Ewan Stefani, James Mooney · White Rose Research Online (University of Leeds, The University of Sheffield, University of York) · 2009
This paper outlines technical and aesthetic approaches to sound spatialisation for electroacoustic music composition. In particular, the paper discusses how spatialisation (sound diffusion) is used to realise specific musical objectives. Technological solutions to problems associated with adapting multichannel compositions for live spatialisation are explored, with particular reference to the open-source Resound system [2, 3]. Examples of Resound applications are provided to illustrate the potential of the system for controlling complex spatial behaviour during live performance.
