Introducing a new book
Dear
Colleague,
Those who synthesize
sound sometimes ignore the fact that a listener always experiences sound as
existing in space. And the properties of natural, built, and synthesized spaces
influence the experience of sound, which I call aural
architecture.
MIT Press has recently published Spaces Speak, Are
You Listening? Experiencing Aural Architecture. The aural
experience of space is central to all sounds because they and the
listener always exist in a space.
Spaces Speak establishes the
language of aural architecture and applies
the principles to examples from many cultures and
centuries. Aural architecture
influences the social, artistic, psychological, behavioral, and cultural
experiences of the inhabitants of a space.
Information about the concepts of aural architecture is available at: www.SpacesSpeak.com. This site contains reviews, articles, discussions,
podcasts, and chapters from the book.
Feel free to
pass this information to those friends and colleagues who might also be
interested.
Regards,
Barry Blesser (former MIT
Prof)
p.s. I apologize if you have already
received an announcement about the
book.
