Sonic virtuality : sound as emergent perception
Grimshaw, MarkAuthor
Garner, TomContributor
This title introduces the concept of sonic virtuality, a theory of sound that positions it as an emergent perception within a framework of virtuality. In its opposition to the acoustic or standard definition of sound, that sound is a sound wave, the thesis builds its case for a sonic aggregate as the virtual cloud of potentials from which the sound as perception emerges. This is argued for from a broad interdisciplinary perspective that assesses evidence and thinking from many fields.
