Hall in Stuttgart
This is a large asymmetrical concert hall with around 2000 seats located in downtown
Stuttgart. Sound reflected off the concrete wall located to the left of listeners has a
powerful presence.
Hall in Vienna
This is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that
is traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections
from all around the audience, producing a very full, rich sound.
Hall in Amsterdam
The large, shoe box shaped hall seats about 2200 around the circle stage. Reflections are
rich and pleasing while the sound travels freely.
Hall in USA A
This is a large 2600 seat concert hall in the United States which features a fairly traditional
European design. The interior is relatively simple, in the American style. The middle and
high frequencies are richly and beautifully reinforced.
Hall in USA B
This spacious arch-shaped hall has a dome ceiling and can seat 2600. The ample
resonance apparent in the sound is a feature brought about by longer than average period
of reverberation. In addition to this, the reflector suspended above the stage allows
listeners to experience rich sound from the direction of the stage.
Chamber
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a
palace. It offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber
music.
Church in Tokyo
The acoustic environment of an ordinary church with moderate reverberations. The
reverberation lasts 2.5 seconds. This is ideal for reproducing church organ and choral
music.
Church in Freiburg
Located in the south of Germany, this grand, stone-built church has a pointed tower at 120
meters in height. Its long and narrow shape and the high ceiling enable the elongated
reverberation time and limited initial reflection time. Thus, the rich reverberation rather
than the sound itself reproduces the atmosphere of the church.
Church in Royaumont
This program features the sound field created by the refectory (dining hall) of a beautiful
medieval Gothic monastery located in Royaumont on the outskirts of Paris.
Village Gate
This is the sound field at a jazz club that was in New York. It is in a basement and has a
relatively spacious floor area. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
Village Vanguard
The Jazz club is on 7th Avenue, New York. This small club with the low ceiling makes the
powerful reflections converge toward the stage located in the corner.
