Precedents: Bernhard Leitner

More on Bernhard Leitner to come, but for now I just wanted to post these images which I find fascinating.  These investigatory sketches exemplify the rigorous method through which Leitner first studies and then proposes manipulations of sound and its movement through three dimensional space.  Of course these are only the visual elements of a thought process that involves extensive spatio-temporal-sonic testing and exploration.
