u/PierreLunaire · 4 pointsr/Acoustics

You should check out The Sound Book, it's all about these types of locations. The author, Trevor Cox, goes and visits a bunch of places with weird echos or really long reverb times and has a bunch of cool analysis and discussion of them.

u/Bogatyr1 · 2 pointsr/JustTzimisceThings

Art above is from Mike Franchina.

​

Palla Grande commences. A bogatyr in a torn pink bathrobe many sizes too small hefts a folio of living flesh through an assembled mass of celebrants, largely unnoticed admidst the dark kaleidoscope of costumes and revelry. The bogatyr kneels before a cluster of debating Tzimisce awaiting the blood bath ritae, imparting the script to a horned, skull-faced zhupan in a long robe. The puzzled zhupan accepts the gift, leafing through the volume while muttering incredulously at the amazing passages of brilliance, and then gracefully excuses itself to adjourn to the rooftop. The volume is cast into a mote of flame, placed before the crescent moon vozhd playing the role of the “large ball” itself. The fire leaps and twists, but the practiced zhupan fights the urge to frenzy with the memories of fire dances felt through the centuries past. The screaming, charred flesh of the folio burns and the vozhd inhales the rising ash. The eyes blink out the scores:
