[microsound] diffusion as an art-form

[Randolph Jordan]

Here are a couple of good places to start reading about the art of  
diffusion:

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.

http://sheffield.academia.edu/AdrianMoore/Papers/91459/M2-Diffusion-%E2%80%93-The-live-diffusion-of-sound-in-space

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.

http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/bourges.html

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!
