As a continuation of previous audio feedback and instrumental prototyping projects, this analog audio feedback system generates a Helmholtz-like standing wave inside a resonant semi-sphere. The electronic configuration is based on a generic bullhorn circuit (with an electret mic and two 4ohm transducers) and is filtered through a passive RC low-pass filter. Few components are required and the circuitry can be easily embedded into a variety of hardware interface designs.

It was a long-distance duet — a violist on Faculty Glade and a carillonist (UC Berkeley Carillonist, Jeff Davis) in the towering Campanile. They couldn’t see or communicate with each other, but their Thursday noontime concert, part of a music department course called Music Now, was a successful exercise in performing across a large space.
Albany Records has released a new CD by composer Anthony Paul De Ritis: Electroacoustic Music, In memorium: David Wessel
Composer Anthony Paul De Ritis began studying with David Wessel at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies after returning from his studies at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau. Wessel exerted a tremendous influence on De Ritis, both as a teacher and as a person. This recording of De Ritis' music is a tribute to David Wessel.
Freedom from Fear (2017) for oboe, two speaker arrays (6 around the audience and 4.2 on stage) and lights Composed/electronics by Maija Hynninen Performed by Kyle Bruckmann, oboe ‘sounDome’ homemade speakers manufactured by Maija Hynninen, designed by Roberto Ortiz-Soto and Maija Hynninen, programmed by Ilya Rostovtsev. Audio production and installation by Jeremy Wagner and Maija Hynninen Special thanks to Eric Paulos and CITRIS Invention Lab staff for all help and support with the 'sounDome'.
This audio feedback system is a prototype designed to digitally manage or 'shape' resultant audio feedback tones as they resonate through an open cylinder waveguide. Pressure waves are produced in the air by a loudspeaker, guided through a configuration of pipes, and sensed by a microphone on the other end. By completing the partially open waveguide loop, energy flows seamlessly between external sound and digital environments.
