Have you ever walked into a space and instantly felt its unique sound atmosphere?
Just like photographers capture the look of a space, we can now capture how a room sounds. My current research explores a concept I call acoustic photography – turning the complex echoes, reverberations and reflections of a room into a sonic “picture”.
Using a Impulse Response (IR) – an acoustic fingerprint of any environment – we can recreate its unique auditory qualities. With this, dry recordings can be placed into real acoustic environments using a method called convolution. The result? Audio that sounds like it was recorded in that space.
