N2 - In this chapter I discuss the principles underlying the composition of my piece INT/ext, for harpsichord and tape (1991). I focus particularly on my personal understanding of key principles of acousmatic music (that is, fixed-medium sonic art heard only on loudspeakers) and explain how these relate to music for the harpsichord. I explain how INT/ext is a practical outworking of an embodied model of acousmatic sound in which both harpsichord and electronic parts contain within themselves the sonic traces of three essential and interdependent elements: agent, sounding body and space.
