Dreams

The signal I convolved was a recording of Shia LeBeouf saying “Don’t let your dreams be dreams.”

The four signals I used for convolution were:
1. IR of metal structure outside Carnegie Museum of Art
2. IR of Cathedral of Learning Stairwell G, 4th floor
3. Recording of person falling down steps (www.freesound.org/people/cinevid/sounds/144160/)
4. Recording of single note from a synthesizer (www.freesound.org/people/modularsa…s/sounds/285519/)

The reverb from recording (1) had a lot of destructive interference which quickly killed the sound, especially compared to that of recording (2), which echoed back from 12 floors.

Recordings (3) and (4) were interesting to me because the outputs sounded pretty similar at first despite the differences in convolution signals. But closer listening showed the different frequency content in the output.
