Hi,
the speaker set-up shown on the site looks like an extremely non-
symmetrical rig to me!
Here's a more industrial looking variation on the same theme but
using (more or less) WFS
techniques, from dutch artist Edwin van der Heide It sounded nice.
greetings, Justin.

Hi all,
Came across this item in an architectural design magazine which I
think is is a beautiful concept. Essentially it provides a realtime
constructed 'surround' sound environment within an open viewing
pavilion of the underwater sounds in the seascape you are looking
over.
The technical summary given is very brief -
Underwater sounds picked up by submerged hydrophones are digitized
and sent with Internet audio streaming to computer running an Max/
MSP application which analyzes, processes and organizes the
signals into an ambi-sonic four-channel soundscape composition.
Speaker systems built inside the walls of the terrace located on
the shoreline, diffuse the real-time soundscape around the listeners.
Pretty vague about the rendering of the ambisonic four channel
stream, but it is an architectural magazine. As a 'realtime
composition' it has the advantage of not having the aim of re-
creating an existing soundfield as such.
I'd love to hear and see it.
