Spaces Speak – Are You Listening ? Experiencing Aural Architecture

March 6th, 2010

Great book by Linda-Ruth Salter and Barry Blesser.

“Recommend for sound engineers, acoustic design architects, musicians and people who love music and/or are interested in the aural spaces abounding.”

“In Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter examine auditory spatial awareness: experiencing space by attentive listening. Every environment has an aural architecture. The audible attributes of physical space have always contributed to the fabric of human culture, as demonstrated by prehistoric multimedia cave paintings, classical Greek open-air theaters, Gothic cathedrals, acoustic geography of French villages, modern music reproduction, and virtual spaces in home theaters.”
