I'm thinking not so much of soundstage on a stereo "hifi" but rather more intentional manipulation of sound to give a sense of movement from the rear to the front (e.g., the Q-sound claim of Madonna's whisper in your ear from behind) or up and down (e.g., your "Made You Look" web demo). In your "Made You Look" demo, you seem to use rising pitch and duration to mean higher elevation. Do effects like this work because people have learned to associate "rising pitch" with elevation? Are there actual mechanisms for how binaural audio from two single drivers (like standard headsets)can give the illusion of 3D sound, including behind and above?
