Listening to virtual space in recorded popular music

• Research on virtual recorded space manifests a division between productionandreception-based approaches. I address a number of issues which complicatediscourse across perspectives and outline why a convergence may bebeneficial to research in various disciplines. I consolidate previous models oflistening, including Moore (2012) and Zagorski-Thomas (2014), and arguethat the ecological approach to perception and research on embodied cognitionmay provide a useful theoretical framework for bridging this divide. Thisis exemplified by music analysis and interpretation of Karnivool’s (2009)‘Goliath’. I discuss the virtual recorded space that the track affords me andconsider how listeners may narrativise the track’s personic environment accordingto ecological/embodied principles.
