Creating in the medium of vibrating air

Traditional titles: musician, engineer, producer, arranger or composer don't fully encompass the modern style of music making. In addition to the usual tools of notes played by instruments, sound shapers today also have access to the entire history of recorded music, ambient sound, spoken word and unprecedented tools to combine and rework them. The new notion is one of sonic organization: working with the raw material of vibrating air and imposing structure on it to create something harmonious, beautiful, or even just appropriate to a given situation. In other words, making sound waves behave in a manner they wouldn't otherwise.
