Re: OT: giant pipes down Portola Avenue in Santa Cruz and other natural reverbs

If you play something really loud (further back is better) at
the broad side of a building covered with vertical corrugated
siding, and then dance wildly back and forth between the
building and the sound source, you get the equivalent of a
physical comb filter/phaser.  If you can find two buildings like
this parallel to each other, it hurts.
