Stirring Atmospheres

Atmosphere contributes to attitudes and the shaping of moods.


But while mood and attitude may subjectively color atmospheres, they do not directly alter qualities of the environment.  Surroundings that intentionally reflect perspectives must be created with such total effects in mind. The same concept applies to the development of aesthetic compositions in sound.

What the surroundings suggest, the composer must hear, and translate into representative forms.
