Sound Travels FAQ

Welcome to the Sound Travels FAQ. This is where you can find out everything you need to know about Sound Travels and its particular practice of octaphonic spatialization.Sections of the FAQ assume no or very minimal understanding of electroacoustic practice, while others lean more to the interests of the advanced practitioner. The generality and specificity of the questions should give you an idea of which ones assume which level of knowledge.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, please by all means do not hesitate to direct any further issues or questions that you might have to Darren Copeland at New Adventures in Sound Art - darren@darrencopeland.net.

Advanced practitioners, and future Sound Travels participants, should consult A Practical Guide to Diffusion by Chris Rolfe and Audience in the Center - Diffusion Practice at Sound Travels by Darren Copeland.
