FEATURING SPEAKER(S):

Dr.Barry Blesser –
Author, “Spaces Speak, Are
You Listening”

DESCRIPTION:

Dr. Barry Blesser is considered one of the grandfathers of
the digital audio revolution. He invented and developed the
first commercial digital reverberation system, the EMT-250
in 1976, helped start Lexicon in 1971, published the
landmark paper, “Digital Processing of Audio Signals” in
1978, co-chaired the 1st International Conference on Digital
Audio in 1980, and was an adviser to the US Justice
Department on the Watergate Tapes in 1974. Dr. Blesser was
President of the Audio Engineering Society in 1980.

Integrating contributions from a wide range of disciplines--
including architecture, music, acoustics, evolution,
anthropology, cognitive psychology, audio engineering, and
many others--Spaces Speak, Are You Listening? establishes
the concepts and language of aural architecture. These
concepts provide an interdisciplinary guide for anyone
interested in gaining a better understanding of how space
enhances our well-being. Aural architecture is not the
exclusive domain of specialists. Accidentally or intentionally,
we all function as aural architects.
