Wow! that's a lot of work for something that we can already reproduce with a small electronic device. What will Nels Cline do next? Record at the grand canyon to get an echo? Find out how to go back in time to get a "natural" reverse effect?
No, I think he'll just turn on all of his thousands of pedals at once. Whoa! Noise blows my mind!
Did you check out my profile to see that? I have lifehouse and a bunch of other pop songs saved because I play bass in a band that does folk versions of those songs.
Since my childhood I sung and later chanted mantras with a balloon/ latex resonator near my mouth and ear.
You don't need a giant balloon for this. Small ones with mike + speaker work well. Especially cylindrical ones, "punching balls" and inflated hot water bottles have nice rich overtones. Where possible, don't inflate too large - it tends to sound worse (duller drone, lacks overtones) and hurts the latex. E.g. arm long gloves are stockings work well even when barely stretched.
Trance suits of inflated latex function by the same principle; they interact with bodily vibrations (pulse, heart beat) and this way synchronize brain waves of different brain areas with each other by synchronized vibration perception through the skin nervous system. The effect resembles biofeedback.
Gently squeezing a latex resonator (e.g. long glove or balloon) against the body during meditation works also. Try to sing against it or gently drum with fingers to feel this in the whole body.
"What is reverb?"....why not just say it's echo? That's not very precise, but it's about right. It's REVERBeration-- sound bouncing off shit, or electrical gizmos that reproduce the effect of sound bouncing off shit by making an electronic signal bound around (or by faking that with some kind of synthesized effect). Not so complicated. The ballon's cool though.
I understand that "echo" is a different thing on an effects pedal, Doh!, but explaining the concept of reverb is pretty simple. It's either the little echo a room with good acoustics makes or it's an electronic effect that imitates that effect.
You should spend less time reading guitar magazines.
Echo is defined in dictionaries as a distinct repetition of a sound, in all uses, not only in guitar effects terms. Reverb is by nature non-distinct.
"The little echo a room makes" would probably get the point across to the average person on the street, but it doesn't work in all examples. If you were talking about the reverb in a hall for instance, "The echo the hall makes" would bring to mind a distinct repetition of sound, which doesn't describe a hall's reverb at all.
i bought 1 of those 8ft weather balloons for like 96.00 there thick and nice well mine is!! from cliff.s

i saw the balloon,but couldn't really hear the reverb,a very funny and seriously interesting experiment.

Because "echo" is an entirely different effect. Doh!

I love it Addi, I got my balloons and have been impressing my friends and family by making basses. Thanks!
