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.”

VEP Project – The Poème Electronique (1958)

February 9th, 2010

The Poème électronique was an unique experience, originating from the request made by Philips to Le Corbusier to design the company pavilion at the Brussels 1958 World Fair.”

“The whole project was initiated and directed by Le Corbusier, who also selected the images for the audiovisual show. Together with this visual show, there was the organized sound, composed by Edgar Varèse. The stunning surfaces of the building were designed by Iannis Xenakis.”

“The result was the very first multimedia project to create a complete sound and vision experience using a totally immersive environment.”
