Field Trips - Fall 2001

The first field trip (26sep01) was to the anechoic chamber and reverb room.

The second field trip (3:45p, 16nov01) will be to Promiseland Studios located at Promiseland Church 1504 E. 51st St.

The third field trip (4:00p, 06dec01) will be to Paramount Theater located at 713 Congress Ave.


The Demonstration CD

Just to let everyone know, the demonstrations that I am presenting in class come from one of two sources: either I made the demonstration myself using Csound, a sound synthesis language, or the demonstration is from the Auditory Demonstrations CD sold by the Acoustical Society of America. I will be happy to share the Csound source code with anyone who is interested.
