Dźwięk przestrzenny jako ekwiwalent misyjnego i komercyjnego modelu artystycznych produkcji audialnych

The aim of the article is to show the functioning of artistic audio forms – in the commercial and mission medium. The developing and lucrative production of audiobooks using the artificial head (binaural sound) and virtualization of the radio rama in productions of Polish Radio Theatre (Dolby Pro Logic 2) are the different images of convergence culture. Experimental audiobooks and radio spectacles using the Dolby surround system are not only a sign of growing artistic offers for audiophiles. First of all, it is an attempt to promote creative ideas in the more attractive and convergence-marked formula of the new canon in media. The permeation of meanings coming from traditional and modern media has a new aspect which has attracted the attention of audiophiles. Surround sound and the “artificial head” effect are not only the instruments of new audio literature. The article attempts to show how experimental sound forms are derived from the syncretism of modern media and how they produce an autonomous art form which does not copy other forms such as film, theatre or television. To what extent is the freedom of creativity to reflect itself seen in productions of audiobooks and to what extent is this found in the adaptation and direction of radio dramas of Polish Radio? Each of these two proposals shows the different functions of artistic factors and promotes the alternative popularization of audio productions.
