Abstract
Soundcloud link: Pembrokeshire Coastal: Spatialising an experience
An iteration of an ongoing practice research project that intends to realise educationally relatable techniques for production of spatial audio to wider audiences. This work focuses on the use of spatial soundscape as a framework composition technique. Working with loudspeaker spatialisation as a starting point rather than end mix, it proposes how the soundscape holds an approach for the inherent translation of spatiality for music. Alongside competing and opposing theoretical positions, it posits the value of soundscape as a necessary conceptual bridge for broader spatial music making.
