Acousmatic sound (original) (raw)
Acousmatic sound is sound that is heard without an originating cause being seen.

In acousmatic art one hears sound from behind a "veil" of loudspeakers, the source cause remaining unseen. More generally, any sound, whether it is natural or manipulated, may be described as acousmatic if the cause of the sound remains unseen. The term has also been used by the French writer and composer Michel Chion in reference to the use of off-screen sound in film. More recently, in the article Space-form and the acousmatic image (2007), composer and academic Prof. Denis Smalley has expanded on some of Schaeffers' acousmatic concepts.Since the 2000s, the term acousmatic has been used, notably in North America to refer to fixed media composition and pieces.
