MATHIAS REUMERT IN CENTRAL COURT— June 16, afternoon.
Kent recorded using the DAT and various microphones, at both close range and far. Locations included the meditation pool, the central court, and side court. Our goal was to record the acoustic response of the court using percussion sounds as the impulse source.

We used the DAT recorder with hand-held stereo microphone in the central courtyard and pools/waterfalls to collect the seeming silence of the windless court.

Kent recorded using the DAT recorder and various microphones, at both close range and far. Locations included the meditation pool, the central court, and side courts.
