Effects of Innovative Mask Confirms Scientific Research
Musicmask Lets the Eyes Listen to Music
AMSTERDAM, April 11, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Hi-fi enthusiasts know the effect: when loudspeakers are in view, it's
difficult to experience a truly spatial stereo image. The eyes see a space
that doesn't correspond with what the ears are experiencing. Musicmask
switches off visual perception, effectively suppressing this deception and
distortion - an effect that science has also proven.
Musicmask completely shuts out light, while allowing the eyes to remain
open. Our hearing is more alert with open eyes than with closed ones. This is
why listening with Musicmask is a much more intense experience than listening
with your eyes closed. The effect is as magical as listening to music in a
completely darkened room, a setting that cannot always be created at home.
Musicmask was developed by Acoustic Projects in Amsterdam. Developer
Corly Bedacht: 'The idea for Musicmask came about during a meditation session
in a darkened room. The music played sounded particularly spatial. When the
light was switched on later, the spatial effect was diminished. Supported by
scientific research, Musicmask was then developed.'
Science about listening in the dark
In their scientific research, the Center for Neural Science in New York
and Tel Aviv University stated that people hear better in the dark. Senses
always 'fight' for the brain's attention. By removing vision, the ears are
given more processing power to digest sound. As a result, you hear more
details, sounds appear more spatial and the emotional experience is
heightened.
Musicmask can be used for listening to music at home, in recording
studios when reviewing recordings, and for assessing and objectively
comparing hi-fi equipment.
Responses from hi-fi reviewers and users are enthusiastic, and the first
sales results from our webshop in the Netherlands are very promising.
Accordingly, Acoustic Projects has decided to open up its webshop to the
world.
Musicmask was developed by Acoustic Projects in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands
Acoustic Projects develops innovative hi-fi products, improves existing
