Abstract:
The dream of digital audio—including virtual audio—is a perfect representation of the sonic world. The dream of “the absolute sound” has become, in the digital age, that of “the absolute sound-space”. Digital audio seems to offer not only the means of simulating aural space, but of freezing time itself, snared in the digital delay of tiny sonic moments. Digital audio offers an infinity of choice, not to re-recreate the sound world, but to re-reinvent it.
