I;ve a suspicion that a Soundfield mic wouldn't behave well in such a weirdly 
reactive environment - i seem to remember chatting with Angelo Farina about 
this some years ago - anyone shed light on that?

Hi,
Maybe I can do that. I have a Soundfield ST450 with a laptop+RME. If there is a 
way I can bring a Genelec to do sweep, otherwise balloons.

I live near Rome, one hour away from gran sasso.

Saluti.

The news report says the detector (including, presumably, the argon) 
will be placed inside "in the next few weeks", which is pretty vague, 
but implies it will all be up and running by April. I hope to get some 
more inside info on the real timetable, but this does suggest there is 
unfortunately not much time to play with.

[Sursound] anyone in Gran Sasso region able to record an impulse response?

2013-02-06 Thread Richard Dobson

Hi all,

there is a new experiment about to start at the Gran Sasso laboratory 
(Abruzzo region, central Italy), to detect dark matter (featured on BBC 
News24 today). The business end appears to be a  metal sphere, loosely 
comparable to a bathroom in size, which will soon be filled with argon. 
The presenter was able to climb inside to make the report, and the 
acoustics are, to say the least, "interesting". Small and presumably 
heavily acoustically reactive.  I have asked my one particle physicist 
contact at Cern to make inquiries about sampling it, if there is time.


Is there anyone in that area able to jump to the challenge at short 
notice, ideally with a surround mic? It would have to be a hand-held or 
at least compact portable setup, as the access hatch into the sphere is 
human sized, but possibly too small to pass large-scale kit. My guess is 
that a mic, a laptop and a (small) balloon plus needle may have to do.


The idea being, needless to say, that ~when~ some significant data is 
obtained, it can be sonified with an appropriate acoustic context. It 
would have to be a labour of love, on the assumption that getting a 
research grant for it at such short notice is rather unlikely!
