Sonic Art & Sound Design- P36:Sonic art is a new art form, or rather, forms. As we shall see, it can encompass a wide range of activities, perhaps wider than almost any other art form. It is an unusual case, based upon a medium that has traditionally been regarded as inferior and subservient to other creative or expressive forms. | CREDITS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements A book like this may have only one acknowledged author but in truth it stems from and is made possible by the efforts and contributions of many people those who inspire by their works and especially those who give of their time and knowledge either directly or through providing information making themselves available for chats and by acting as sounding boards for ideas. In a very real sense this book is every bit as much theirs as it is mine. Many people contributed in many ways to help make this book possible and I m hugely grateful to every one of them.
