Reverb Jam

 

The UK National Physical Laboratory has a room with one of the longest reverberation times in Europe. In December 2006, a few of us were allowed inside with our cameras, microphones and musical instruments. These videos show you what happened - you can read more about the project here.

NB In these videos, the people you see on camera are the only musicians playing - no sounds have been added after the event (except during the purple intro sequence). The extra sound you're hearing is the long tail of reverb that follows each note, as sound bounces for up to 30 seconds around this highly reflective room. You hear this tail, before you hear notes, on videos that are playing backwards.
