I'm unboxing stuff and the AES compilation of Richard's work had me (re)reading all night.one of my old "highlighers", from an Audio Magazine contribution during the time he was contributing to equipment reviews there at Audio. It was these articles that hooked me on audio technology and measurement - the year I got my Physics degree (1978)
From "Hearing vs. Measurement"
"We do not record a Hologram; we do not even pretend to record a hologram. Nor do we even pretend to play back a reconstructed holographic sound field. Yet, much of the hoopla of present audio measurement technology [and reviews] is based on the assumption that we listen to a reconstructed hologram."
He proceeds this with a prophesy, "Someday we will [have the technology] to record that [the dynamic diffraction pattern of an acoustic performance].
It has me wondering, "Why not?" 34 years later!
