Folks, I'm writing an article for a magazine about surround in theatre and I'm trying to recall events in my own time line with regard to discovering Ambisonics, but there are areas of confusion that I'd like to clarify.
I can remember my first proper demo at Hebden Bridge with The Last Night Of The Proms via a Brenell Mini 8, meeting with someone from Reading University when we were planning to build our own version of a multi-channel pan-rotate unit for the RSC, (the denial that such a thing as white stilton cheese in a dodgy pub restaurant is an abiding memory from that one), the NRDC/Boots debacle, Meeting the chap who made Keesonic speakers (and buying a lot of them as surrounds for the RSC production of The Greeks), meeting Michael Gerzon at APRS, in company with, I think, Richard Elen and George Chkiantz, and a couple of other points, but dates are eluding me. If there's anyone on the list who can put me right about some dates, in particular, the point at which the NRDC took over the commercial exploitation of Ambisonics, I'd be very grateful and will be happy to credit you in the article, which will be read by about three people, eventually, I expect. Off-list is probably best, unless you have some rib-tickling anecdote that the group might enjoy. Many thanks, John (My memory's not that bad, by the way, but an awful lot of other stuff has happened since then...) _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list [email protected] https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
