As I have been preparing to go to Seoul to talk about surround to the local audio community there my enthusiasm for the format has been renewed. From the consumer's standpoint it may be a tiny dot on the horizon, but for the artist it provides a pretty spectacular pallette of tools, colors and perspectives.
The sense of envelopment that we feel in the presence of a live musical performance is part of what makes it compelling, and surround offers that possibility. It is wide, and warm and intimate all at once....
I look forward to the day when it is easy enough for the consumer to use that we can really investigate the form....
