“A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.”

—Leopold Stokowski

Sound shapes the truth behind the visuals: if you suspend disbelief in the picture, it’s art;  if you suspend disbelief in the soundtrack, its insincere.

Immersive sound captures the dynamics of emotional storytelling by rewarding expectation and release, and sometimes betraying it.
