The title of our conference, "Dream Machines," is intentionally ambiguous and suggests at least two rather disparate, literal interpretations-one, the machines we dream of, and the other, the machines that produce our dreams. These two conflicting interpretations would seem easily resolved in a meeting of computer music practitioners who have struggled to create art with distinctly inartistic hardware and who have coveted machines more responsive to their artistic goals. Then again, this is a meeting of people who are focused and centered in auditory experience: "audiles" is the dictionary's term. I think that all of us have been motivated to be here and devote our lives to the art and science of sound because we have experienced a dream of sound, a dream that could be made real only by a "dream machine." The obvious gap between the two conflicting interpretations of our conference title can be bridged by a marriage of the two which suggests "the dreams that audiles have of machines that realize their auditory dreams." I will focus my discussion on a particular "auditory dream," rather than the machine. I wish to focus on two interrelated application areas that lie somewhat outside the obvious scope of computer music: scientific visualization and virtual reality. I believe that the design of "computer music systems" can be conceived broadly enough to serve goals other than creating musical compositions, and that computer music composition can be conceived of broadly enough to include the creation of the auditory images for new forms of computer technology. Composers have special insights and perspectives on the construction of sound that should inform this work
