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 ... ?).
