acousmatic concert

An acousmatic concert is a type of performance focused on sound rather than visual elements. In this setting, the audience listens to pre-recorded or manipulated audio that is played through speakers, often without seeing the source of the sounds. This concept emphasizes the experience of listening and allows the audience to engage with the aural world in a deeper way. The term "acousmatic" comes from the idea of sounds being heard without seeing their origin, encouraging listeners to focus on the auditory experience and interpretation of the music or sound art.
