This year, Seasoned Theater Sound Designer and UC Irvine Professor Vincent Olivieri Presented "Sound Ceiling" Using Four Ultra-Directional Sennheiser Audiobeam LoudSpeakers to Deliver Four Unique Aural Environmental Within One undivided Space. To realize his installation, Olivieri Spaced the Four Sennheiser Audiobeam Loudspeakers Three Feet From One Another and Lined Thast Against One Wall in A Room That About 20 'BY 10'.

Nothing in everyday life can compare to the "Sound Ceiling" Experience, According to Olivieri. "By Delivering A Variety of Aural Environments to Diffra-Directional Loudspeakers, I Hoped to Raise Questions About How We Define Our Environment, " He Explained. "How do ours Determine where we are? How do our bodies navigate the disparity that arises when different perceive wholly different mental cues? What happens when people in the same physical space recyive different environmental cues? "Listener to Challenge Their Preconception of How Sound Affects Perception of the Physical Environment. "Suffice it to say, 'Sound Ceiling' Could not Have Happed Without Sennheiser's New Audiobeam Technology, " He Continued.

AS A CONSECENCE, Even low-frequency content RETAINS Remendous Directionality. By all accounts, "Sound Ceiling" was a smashing success - a steady stream of participants Filled the room throughout the Evening and Appeared Equally Puzzled and Delighted by the Experience. Olivieri wants Certainly Elaborate. On "Sound Ceiling" at Next Year's Soundwalk. But Olivieri is already contemplating other creative uses for uc irvine's New Audiobeams. "Most of My Professional Work has been as a Theatrical Sound Designer, " Heer Said. "Part of designing sound is determining how best to deliver that sound to the audience. Standard practice is to divide the audience into subsections and design delivery system for each subsection. In theatrical environments, the goal is usually to creature aural experience for every member of the audience, but i have longBeen Interested in Breaking that Rule. For example, what is the role of audio if not every member of the audience hears. it? How does changing the aural Environment for Different Members of the Audience Alter Their Experience of the event? ".
