Exploring 2D Ambisonics by Amplitudes and Phases [Long paper]

This paper presents a spectral-like reformulation of two-dimensional ambisonics, enabling an alternative representation of the sound field in terms of amplitudes and phases. We situate this work within electroacoustic music creation, framing spatial audio as a synthesis problem. The amplitude-phase approach we propose allows for continuous manipulation and distortion of the sound field, starting from…

We presented at AES26 a spectral-like reformulation of 2D ambisonics, enabling an alternative representation of the sound field in terms of amplitudes and phases. We hypothesise that it simplifies the representation; creative manipulation of 2D ambisonics, beyond encoded directional point sources.
