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

拟议的研究将研究音乐手势和声音在空间中的运动，通过调查它们的表达潜力和听众的接收，目的是开发一个必要的（肯德尔，2007年），权威和有组织的空间属性词汇。这将通过分析创造性实践中的空间性，根据其预期的音乐目的对空间手势进行分类，并通过一系列针对专业和非专业听众的听觉测试来确定其情感潜力。并行实践将补充发展理论，将新颖的空间词汇与空间化软件和硬件沿着整合到作品和表演中，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.
