Spatial Sound Synthesis

Spectral Spatialization

Spectral spatialization is an advanced form of spatialization, which is based on a separation of audio signals into frequency bands (Kim-Boyle, 2008). These frequency bands can be distributed in space which allows a dynamic spreading of existing sound material. Spectral spatialization methods are found in many electroacoustic compositions and live electronic performances.

Spatial Sound Synthesis

Spatial sound synthesis refers to spatialization at an early stage in the synthesis process. In contrast to classic spatialization of existing sources, this results in spatially distributed sounds. Approaches towards spatial sound synthesis have been presented for most known synthesis principles, including additive synthesis (Topper, 2002), granular synthesis (Roads, 2004), physical modeling (Mueller, 2009) and modulation synthesis (McGee, 2015).
