Abstract

This article aims to define the development of audiovisual electroacoustic music for virtual reality (VR) as an emerging artistic expression. Revisiting concepts and terminologies by several authors (Gibbs, 2007; Leite, 2004; Lima, 2011; Fry, 1920) in relation to the most diverse audiovisual manifestations, we consolidated Hill's definition (2010) and expanded it to a specific reproduction system, VR, as the most appropriate for our object of study. The maintenance of what we call extrinsic space (Henriksen, 2002) in this type of manifestation makes it possible to consolidate it as a musical parameter. First studies in audiovisual electroacoustic music for VR are presented as result of doctoral work.
