silence spins. 2012
Schallschluckende Panele, Tuch und parametrische Lautsprecher
silence spins is an infinite aural tearoom, seemingly without walls. This is accomplished by building walls that do not reflect sound – or at least, do so at a barely perceptible level. The walls are made of powerful acoustic absorption/isolation materials: on the exterior, Shizuka Stillness panels create a simple anechoic chamber while shutting out all outside sound; on the interior, Aural Sonic panels help eliminate sound reflections off the walls, making them seem as if they are not there. In silence spins, the space feels larger than it is in reality. As we set foot inside the tearoom, the silence allows us to relax our ears and brain. We concentrate on the sound of our own breathing or other subtle noises that we make, experiencing a Zenlike sensation similar to meditation.
