ACOUSMATIC

« Back to Glossary Index

The music is produced with the aid of various music technologies, such as digital recorders, digital signal processing tools and digital audio workstations. Using such technology various sound materials can be combined, juxtaposed, and transformed in any conceivable manner. In this context the compositional method can be seen as a process of sound organization.  For example, music composed for a film’s soundtrack is usually considered “acousmatic”.
