Techniques for “subject-oriented” spatialized music by William Fastenow & Christopher Dobrian

Most sound spatialization schemes assume an ideal listener location, a single “sweet spot” where the localization of sounds is perceived optimally. This implies that all other listener locations are sub-optimal, where listeners perceive an “incorrect” spatialization and balance. To address this problem, William Fastenow proposes what he terms subject-oriented music, in which each listener intentionally receives a different, yet equally valid, distribution of the musical sounds. This idea leads to the use of compositional concepts and techniques that deliberately produce multiple heard versions of a work, with variable timings and locations of sound events. In this presentation, Fastenow will describe a versatile multichannel system to create spatio-musical gestures in the listening field using pairwise speaker panning, with the express intention of giving each listener a unique musical experience. With collaboration from composer Christopher Dobrian, he will discuss some compositional techniques that they have found to be especially appropriate to this “subject-oriented” spatialization.
