experience and imagination, an approach that is not only rooted in
science or functionality.
Ever since the emergence of symphonic orchestras, composers and sound

includes research into the further electronic spatialization of
classical ensemble works and orchestral works as well as researching
acousmatics, a technique whereby sound is distributed through space in
such a way that the original sound source is no longer perceivable.

electroacoustic improvisation circuit started exploring how musical
space and audio space could be made central during live performances...
