Acousmate. n (from the Greek Akousma, what is heard). Imaginary sound, or of which the cause is not seen.

acousmatic – « a sound that we can hear without knowing its cause. »
– Jérôme Peignot

acousmatic music – music which is « shot and developed in the studio, projected in halls, like cinema. »
– François Bayle

Music « to be heard without the use of visual intervention… It organizes morphologies and sonic spectra, ‘images of sound’, coming from a multiplicity of sources, but that the absence of visual identification makes anonymous, unifies and prompts a more attentive listening .. Acousmatic … is a new and autonomous art form which certainly finds in the compact disc – a genuine sound book – one of its most convincing vehicles. »

– Francis Dhomont
