Ep. 8 "Stereophonica" with Prof Gascia Ouzounian
Today we understand sound is inherently spatial. It interacts with and informs us about the space it - and we - exist in. But as recently as 1900, scientists held that sound itself could not relay "spatial attributes" and that the human ear had physiological limitations that prevented it from recei…

Gascia Ouzounian, "Stereophonica: Sound and Space in Science, Technology, and the Arts" (MIT Press, 2021)
As common as it is today to speak of the relative “height” of musical pitches or of the sense of “vocal space” as it opened up by particular recording techniques, we did not always understand sound to be spatial. How did it become so? In Stereophonica: Sound and Space in Science, Technology, and th…
Soncities
A new acoustic paradigm for cities
Architecture and urban design have traditionally tended to focus on what we see rather than what we hear. When sound is taken into account, it tends to be viewed as a problem to be dealt with through noise control.
Reducing noise is certainly important, especially…
Sound idea: the revival of acoustic detection in warfare
In the early 20th century, sound locators were dreamed up to provide early warning of incoming enemy aircraft. After the invention of radar, the technology was cast aside. But now, innovators in Ukraine have revived the idea of acoustic detection with surprising success. In this episode, we explore…
