Structure-Borne Sound and Aurally Active Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT This paper provides a report of a research effort to transform architectural and scenographic surfaces into sound sources and use them in artistic creation. Structure-borne sound drivers are employed to induce sound into the solid surfaces, making them vibrate and emit sound. The sound waves can be perceived both via the aural (airborne diffusion) as well as the tactile (structure-borne diffusion) senses. The paper describes the main challenges encountered in the use of structure-borne sound technology, as well as the current results in overcoming them. Two completed artistic projects are presented in order to illustrate the creative possibilities enabled by the research.

Sonic Scenography - Equalized Structure-borne Sound for Aurally Active Set Design
This paper suggests the use of a plywood panel, which is also a scenographic element in a dance performance, as a flat speaker. The sound emanating from the panel is subjectively different from a traditional loudspeaker, since the sound appears to originate from behind the panel. However, its frequency response is severely coloured by the panel modes, and the panel has a displeasing low pass-fi...
متن کاملCompact and Efficient Active Vibro-acoustic Control of a Smart Plate Structure
An effective wide band active control law through one kind of the Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) is proposed and studied in this paper. With the help of mechanical impedance method, active DVA control law is formulated based on the passive mechanical model. The electrical DVA can generate multi-mode active damping to the structure. The host structure is an aluminum plate and acceleration sign...
متن کاملObjective Evaluation of Acoustic Quality Based on a Relative Approach
Aurally-adequate recording and analysis technology has been available to acoustic engineers working to measure and analyze sound in a way analogous to human hearing since the early eighties. Aurally-adequate measurement technology, using the Artificial Head for recording sound and applying psychoacoustic calculation for analysis, is vital in achieving acoustic quality and good sound design. How...
متن کاملThe Communication Method of Distance Education System and Sound Control Characteristics
The present in used distance education system is based on audiovisual communications. So when a teacher gives lessons to many students who are dispersed in distant places, the teacher obtains input from students through image and sound information. The students can be visually distinguished by separately displaying an active picture and a non-active background. But it is hard to distinguish the...
متن کاملActive Acoustic Instruments for Electronic Chamber Music
This paper presents an ongoing project for augmenting acoustic instruments with active acoustics. Active acoustics are defined as audio-rate vibration driven into the instruments physical structure, inducing air-borne sound output. The instrument’s acoustic sound is thus doubled by an electronic soundscape radiating from the same source. The article is centered on a case study on two guitars, o...
