The first person who comes to mind is Richard Devine, who has publicly stated in interviews that he's converting his entire studio to 5.1 production. As far as I know he doesn't have anything released in 5.1 (though perhaps his commercial work for Nike utilizes it?), but that would be one to look out for. The other thing I would mention is that the academic side of computer music has been involved with multi-speaker spatialization for many years now; there have been varying levels of consistency with regards to speaker placement, but a number of people have done work with 5.1 systems specifically. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of names off the top of my head, since I don't know that side of thing nearly as well. A number of the performances at SEAMUS (Society for Electroacoustic Music in the US) this year involved multi-channel works; their site might be a good place to look if this interests you: http://seamus2002.music.uiowa.edu/ Cheers, Bill -- http://www.chromedecay.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
