I used Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room” audio because everyone is familiar with this sound track already.
The first IR response was recorded in the A level of Baker hall. The sound of the balloon pop was pretty reverberated, creating a strong echo in Lucier’s voice.
The second IR response was recorded by me tapping in my refrigerator. It has a wiggly sound to it, instead of an echo like the first IR response.
For the third IR response, I recorded myself saying “hi!” in order to see if putting a recording of my voice as the impulse response can transform Lucier’s voice into mine. The result was actually somewhat close to my speaking voice.
The fourth IR response is recorded when I bite into my breakfast toast. Although my room does not have much echo when I recorded other impulse responses, because the crunch sound is composed of a repetition of similar sounds, when I convolve with this impulse response, Lucier sounded as if he was in a room with a lot of reverberations.
