Acoustic illusions may become musically useful when electronic sound control is exact

Evidence

While some of the examples given may be of no obvious musical use to the performer or composer, they may in the future find musical application in electronically produced music for particular musical effects where control over the acoustic components of the output sound is exact. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1568
