Sonic Blueprints
Composing music for spatial experience.
Sonic Blueprints begins with a simple, far-reaching idea: space, just as much as time, can become the framework we use to compose. Paths, thresholds, distance, scale, movement, and the behavior of a place can shape the music as much as melody, rhythm, and harmony traditionally have.
The book turns years of spatial music and installation practice into a process creators can use, based on principles from architecture—from the first site study to the Program Brief, eight frameworks, the Sonic Blueprint, 15 illustrated spatial composition techniques, and the finished work.
