Composition for renaturalising loudspeaker listening experience
What is truly necessary, if you need to renaturalise how you listen to music that comes out from loudspeakers ? Here, this is exclusively about the kind of music that is commonly called « acousmatic ». Any recorded music or other sound can be heard from loudspeakers. What is therefore necessary, I think, is a kind of compositions which is expected to induce the multidimentional listening effect to the audience. I believe that the multichannel acousmatic composition contains the great possibility for this. It is possible to get close to listening to the natural environment, that is multichannel by default, primary forests, for example.
That said, if non-treated natural or unnatural sound is put to the sound system and play it to come through loudspeakers, that may produce comfortable listening effect. In that case, what is the difference between composed music and other natural (or unnatural) things ?
I think that the difference is that in acousmatic compositions, in my case, I like refining and filtering the sound materials for acousmatic creations for most cases. Whether the effect is good or bad depends on my skill. And so if a piece is created well, I can say that I aimed at an effect of 3D or multidimention, that can go beyond the traditional instrumental music, or the positioning of the European instrumental musical tradition. (I must add this in these brackets, that the positioning of the instruments in European music itself, it is to do with the composer especially in so-called contemporary music. So, if the composer plans to renaturalise the experience of the listening of the piece, then various attempts are made in the composition).
As I mentioned partly above, one of the necessities for the renaturalisation of the listening is to produce the kind of compositions that can do the job of listening to the « espace monde ».
But is that enough ? If that is not enough, what can be the reason ? Bad compositions ?
