Tony was an early pioneer of spatial audio and ambisonics. In 1992, he was instrumental in introducing an electronic music stage to Glastonbury for the first time with the Experimental Soundfield - a four point ambisonic sound system. This significant development for the festival formed part of Tony's investigations into the subject. In his coauthored paper, Observations and Experiments with Surround Sound, published in 2004, he concluded: "The extra dimension and ability to generate moving events afforded by surround sound can be truly said to improve the listening experience." Spatial audio and ambisonics have been an important part of Tony's journey in sound and lifetime pursuit of sonic excellence.
