Silo City Proposal – David Held (2026)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the bass pitch of the tone moving upward or downward, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that seems to continually ascend or descend in pitch, yet which ultimately gets no higher or lower.
16 computer-controlled sound distribution system speakers installed from the top of the silo down to the floor. Exploring the acoustic properties of the silo with ascending and descending Shepard tones.
The Shepard tones will be generated with pure tones and mixed with vocoder speech.
