Music is performed in many different spaces. The significance is enormous. One church can make an organ sound deliciously soupy while the same organ set in another can sound thin and wimpy. It all comes down to the complex interaction of natural reverb, early reflections and short delays.
To highlight the effect of acoustics on sound, French tenor Joachim Müllner has created a fascinating video recorded in 15 locations including a church, gymnasium, oil field, living room, cellar and even an anechoic chamber.
The results are stunning, with each space framing his voice in different ways.
