Acoustic reconstruction of Notre Dame - interactive spatial audio article

[BJL]

Today (March 5, 2023) the New York Times published an article on the acoustic reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The article is illustrated with spatial audio and includes interesting detail on historical architectural acoustics. This might be worthwhile for anyone interested in spatial audio/immersive audio/Atmos as well as architectural acoustics. I personally found the article fascinating.

The Quest to Restore Notre Dame’s Glorious Sound (Published 2023)

In Paris, experts are modeling ways to revive the burned cathedral’s centuries-old acoustics. A Times interactive shows how space can affect what we hear.

Just read/listen to this morning. Great multimedia work by the NYT
Excellent choice of music (the Gregorian chant Viderunt Omnes) that I listen to in so many Italian churches when I was living there.

It is indeed very nice, the study the article. Thanks for the link @mSpot.

I wonder what type of fuse they are using to make is sound so good.
