On the 4th July 2011 the consultation draft of Music, Noise and Hearing : How to play your part was published on-line through the BBC website. This is a guide for musicians created from the work of the Noise and Hearing Working Group over the past 2 years. It has drawn upon the case studies generated with the Royal Academy of Music and the London Philharmonic Orchestra amongst others.
On the 22nd June 2011 the Royal Academy of Music were staging the Sondheim musical - The Follies. For the first time we measured the noise exposure for Music Theatre, which is an amplified event. We decided to use the music stand screens in the Brass section. We had no choice but to watch the show whilst the measurements were undertaken - at times life does work out.
On the 22nd June 2011, the Acoustics and Sustainability Group visited Strata SE1, the new tower at Elephant and Castle. We were very interested in the performance of the 3 integrated turbines and extremely impressed by Norwin's high quality of the installations. Many thanks to them!
