The Language of Music in Space: A Study of Listeners' Perception to Develop a New Vocabulary of Sound

这项拟议的研究将通过调查音乐手势和声音在空间中的表达潜力和听众的接受程度来研究它们，目的是开发所需的、权威的和有组织的空间属性词汇(Kendall，2007)。这将通过对创作实践中的空间性进行分析，根据其预期的音乐目的对空间手势进行分类，并通过对专家和非专家听众的一系列听觉测试来确定其情感潜力，从而实现这一点。并行实践将补充发展中的理论，将新的空间词汇与空间化软件和硬件一起整合到构图和表演中，从而保证其适用性。

The proposed research will study musical gestures and the movement of sounds in space by means of investigating their expressive potential and listeners' reception, with the goal of developing a needed (Kendall, 2007), authoritative and organised vocabulary of spatial attributes. This will be achieved through the analysis of spatiality in creative practice, categorising spatial gestures according to their intended musical purpose, and establishing their affective potential via a series of auditory tests for both specialist and non-specialist listeners. Concurrent praxis will complement the developing theory, integrating the novel spatial vocabulary into compositions and performances along with spatialisation software and hardware, thereby guaranteeing its applicability.
