Abstract

It is quite common to use spatial language in the description of the sensation of sound: A sound can be big or small, it can be edgy, flat or round, a tone can be high or low, a melody rising or falling – all these linguistic metaphors are apparently emerging from the crossmodal correspondences of perception. An auditory object can have a metaphorical size, shape and position in space besides its (perceived) physical size, shape and position in space. The present paper reviews research on crossmodal effects and related findings from different disciplines that might shine a light on the production and aesthetics of spatial audio. In addition, some preliminary results of experiments with complex spatial sonic structures are presented.
