In yesterday’s Acousmatic workshop we were instructed to bring in our own samples and learn for ourselves about the different stages of acousmatic composition.

It became clear to me that a good concept that one might initially have would not necessarily translate to a quality listening experience unless time is taken to understand and learn the internal characteristics of the chosen samples thoroughly.

This process is interlinked with bringing life and a new dimension to ones sounds,  to really challenge the expectations of a listener one has to have variety, yet be consistent in the standard of their spatialisation techniques.

I shall continue to record samples and make notes of various acousmatic concepts that come to mind over this next week.
