Nice use of a shitload of loudspeakers.

So now the race fans appear out of the woodwork.
1989. And Senna remains in memory.
1989:
and its V10 motor that year, the Honda RA109E
in 1991 Honda produced a V12 version called the RA121E. It wasn't as successful but definitely has a "cool" factor.

That would bring a tear to the eye of many a Senna fan, and most of Brazil.
Yeah. I'm not even a race fan but know who he was and it gave me goosebumps.
That's cool on so many levels.
Yeah. Would have loved to have experienced it.
It is great to see that experimental music is still alive and well!
Often, the limiting factor is resources, whether physical or financial. For example, who, other than a university, has the resources to purchase or rent 30-something speakers and associated equipment.
I remember back in 1973 "playing" the avant garde tapestries exhibited in the Lausanne, Switzerland museum, and experimenting with other avenues of musical expression. I am forever grateful and indebted to my mentor Rainer Boesch for that experience!
Such experiments are often not directly marketable, but they provide the opportunity for insightful creative people to develop ideas which subsequently ARE marketable, and, they contribute to driving the creative worlds of both music and audio.
For folks who are in the North Texas area, google "UNT CEMI". They are doing some of this kind of stuff.

Spem in Alium is a legendary piece of unaccompanied vocal music from the 1560s or the 1570s for 40 voices that are in essence solo voices.
Some years back a choir recorded each part individually and all the parts were played back each with its own monophonic loudspeaker positioned throughout a large art gallery or museum, and not in choir rows as in a cathedral or in ranks as in a modern concert.
IIRC the loudspeakers were smalll standmount B&Ws. I might be off on that.
IIRC the first installation was in London but some time later is was at The Cloisters in NYC for a while.
FWIW.

know enough about sound and sonics but often wondered if the Bennie Goodman concert at carnegie hall in 1938 could be treated the same way. If sound engineers could isolate each instrument and then play each instrument back through individual speakers placed where the original players had been seated or standing, well that might be great. But , as I said, I do not have the science back ground to even know if something like this were possible. Norm
I only heard about the NYC installation right at the end and I had no time to make a trip.
I can't see how one could pull one sax out of a 1930s big band sax section.
However, I bet if you could get a 48-track file of this performance, you sure could have fun with it!
Further, this is one of the most cooking modern big band performances I have seen on video. It did not all end when Akiyoshi and Tabackin stopped touring.
ATB,
