This website is an introduction to sound.
The aim is to present the information as simply as possible with minimal mathematics.

Here you will learn about the physical properties of sound, about the terminology and about visual representations. You will also learn about spatial acoustics and the problematics of music perception. This information will be useful later for sound synthesis, performance technology and performing.

The website is divided into sections, progressively building on previously given information to make it easier to understand and internalise. The website is designed with media-rich content to make it easier to visualise certain abstract concepts. The website is not scientifically structured, as its purpose is to illustrate the phenomena discussed and to inspire and encourage visitors to find out more.

The website should be regarded as a work in progress; check the version date.
