Last week we aired an exclusive first 3D radio broadcast. Our segment featured a breakthrough technology developed by Princeton astrophysicist Edgar Choueiri that allows stereo playback to sound much more real and lifelike. The response was overwhelming and listeners flooded our website with suggestions of what music or sounds they wanted to hear in 3D. Ben from Kentucky suggested Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring). It happens to be one of Edgar’s favorites, too, and he was more than happy to oblige.
Bonus Track: Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) in 3D Listen to the whole track in 3D sound calibrated for computer speakers.
