The integration of audible space is a key aspect of electroacoustic music. From the earliest analogue days, pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer, Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Luigi Nono employed specialized devices and methods to refine the incorporation of spatial sound into their compositions. This anthology presents analytical portraits of various compositions and groups, illustrating the diverse spatial practices in early electroacoustic music. It also offers retrospective insights into spatial composition across different eras and genres, including earlier epochs and 20th-century instrumental music. These historical perspectives highlight the specific approaches to spatial music, demonstrating its universality as a theme. By examining these practices, the book enhances the understanding of "spatial music," contributing to a more nuanced interpretation of the term. The collection features contributions in both English and German, showcasing the wide-ranging influences and developments in the field, ultimately enriching the discourse surrounding the integration of space in music.
