Naomi liked to travel. She liked the planning part of it as much as the actual adventure. She used to stay at Youth Hostels, which made it easy to organize her trips. Once, during her journey to exotic places, she discovered the natural sound of various objects when they were hit repeatedly. More than a sound itself, it was an experience that lasted much longer and made an “after sound or ”after taste,” as she called it. The typical outcome of a beat was so meaningful to her that she went even further and started a research study involving playing in various places and in different conditions, from outdoors to indoors. She involved Danny the acoustician in her investigation, so he built some hanging panels that blocked or supported the sound transmission. This is how Naomi came up with the topic of a thesis for her interdisciplinary degree in music and acoustics.
