I'm geeking-out over this... Combine some old, giant concrete water tanks with a speaker, a microphone, and the ability to do anything over the Internet, and you get this: Some guys in Germany have set-up a speaker/mic recording combination, where you upload a file, and it actually plays and records inside this concrete tank, and is sent back to you as an MP3. How cool is that??

A few years ago, they had something similar in Montreal, Canada, using an abandoned grain elevator - a gigantic indoor space - set up with microphones and speakers like this one. People were also able to upload sounds, music, etc., to have played through the speaker/microphone system and hear it back processed. Unfortunately, I found out about this after the project had ended. I'll have to try this one! —http://www.aquatudes.com |

okay, I made a sampler of a 1 minute snippet of my band playing squad car, sent it through the site once with 30% reverbsilo, and once with 100% WR —Rules to live by #314: |

Those types of "reverb tanks" are nothing new. Norman Petty had a famous one that Buddy Holley recorded with as well as Duane Eddy if I remember correctly. I actually built a "plate" reverb some years back with a piece of sheet metal, a 4" speaker and a telephone pickup capsule. It sounded awesome but I could never effectively isolate it from other unwanted vibrations being generated in my basement studio. I ended giving it to a friend and I never heard if he actually got it to work........ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

OK, agreed, but being able to sit in my den, send a file to Germany and having it sent back instantly is the cool part! I've posted some samples here:
