Schizophonia is a term coined by R. Murray Schafer to describe the splitting of an original sound and its electroacoustic reproduction.[1] Since the invention of the electroaccoustical equipment for the transmission any sound can be recorded and sent anywhere around the world. Originally that was not possible, every sound was an original and could only be heard once. Schizophonia is the separation of this native sound and the recording of it.[2]
