I was just reading about how the stone walls of the Temple of Artemis created a natural reverb that ancient musicians would have known. Have you ever thought about how those acoustic environments shaped the music of the past?
Yeah, those stone walls were the original reverb chambers. It’s like they had a built‑in convolution of their own, so the musicians had to think in terms of sustained harmonics and resonance. It made the instruments sound like they were playing in a giant cathedral of sound, which probably pushed them to layer parts more tightly and pay close attention to spacing. It’s pretty neat how an ancient building can teach you about mixing before you even had a rack.
