Re: diffusion as an art-form

Moore, Adrian, Dave Moore, James Mooney.  “M2 Diffusion: The Live Diffusion of Sound in Space.”  Proceedings of the 2004 International Conference on Music and Computers.  Miami: USA, 2004: 317-320.

Moore, Moore, and Mooney give a good concise definition of diffusion, a brief technical history of the art, and the results of some of their research into new diffusion technologies.

Truax, Barry.  "Composition & Diffusion: Space in Sound in Space."  Organised Sound, 3(2):141-146.

Truax gives a more technical description of his own research into the art of diffusion, but I like the way he distinguishes between composition and diffusion as "shaping the space inside the sound" vs "shaping the sound inside the space."

Enjoy!

what amazes me is how many people in the various arts (dance, film, etc)

have no knowledge of the 'art of diffusion'...

Where would you send them to learn about it?
