Artistic approach to the WFS system

Abstract

This paper,  “Artistic Approach to the Wave Field Synthesis system,” explores the diverse characteristics of the WFS system as a musical instrument and examines artistic approaches to spatializing sounds in electroacoustic music composition. It delves into the unique attributes of the system, providing detailed examples of compositions and discussing potential challenges and limitations. The paper raises questions about how such a spatial audio rendering system can impact our listening experience, particularly in relation to fixed media compositions. Additionally, the possibilities of using WFS in live electronic music are also explored.
