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 at.

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.

The link I have is

Worth a look if you haven't heard of it.
