Spatial sound has long been a topic of interest in electro-acoustic music. With continual technical advancements of methods to achieve spatialisation of sound, an increase in the realisation of spatial sound ideas can be achieved, while concurrently giving birth to new concepts in this area. Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) provides a compelling method, as it excels in creating a clear localisation of a virtual sound source for a large listening area.
