A story I tell against myself ... the prime causation for me getting
'into' surround sound was the planing for a sculpture plus sound
'installation' in a very nice cuboidal (and, of course, inevitably white)
exhibition space.

The idea was each sculpture would have a sound.

Wow : cube, ambisonics, three-d sound.

It was many, ... (embarrassingly) many, ... weeks before I realised that
what we needed was a loudspeaker in each 'base' (sorry the English for
'socle' escapes me).

So my love affair with ambisonics was totally accidental (but aren't all
love affairs ... ?).
