{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
And the pink stuff

[00:06:42]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
Mmhmm

[00:06:43]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
And it's all the fiberglass

[00:06:47]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
And then you just have the final course is that stuff that looks is practically transparent.

[00:06:55]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
Oh but this is existing

[00:06:58]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
No, no no

[00:06:59]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
This is what you put in

[00:07:01]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
No, I put all those walls in

[00:07:02]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
Geez, you're smart

[00:07:03]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Yeah, I put all the walls in. So this had 3. This is constructed that way

[00:07:07]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
I thought you were saying [[inaudible]]

[00:07:11]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
No.

[00:07:13]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
This construction is the same way. And this construction, this construction is the same way.

[00:07:19]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
And, like I say, all these walls. Uh, the path, the beams in which they sat

[00:07:27]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Were isolated, or the studs were isolated from the rest of the building with, with rubber

[00:07:35]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
So the fact that you weren't getting subsonic sounds, normally you were getting, you were just getting, you were just getting

[00:07:43]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
Oh, that's interesting

[00:07:44]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
You're just getting, it's total absorption

[00:07:46]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
See, I don't even know to know that

[00:07:48]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
It's--

[00:07:49]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
I don't even know what subsonic sound is, but you see, I understand especially in New York.

[00:07:52]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Yeah, well

[00:07:54]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
That doesn't mean I know about it.

[00:07:55]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
There is there's a simple reason

[00:07:57]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
You get that rumbling.

[00:07:58]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Yeah there's a simple reason, that, um

[00:08:01]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
The train goes underneath

[00:08:07]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Yeah. So and basically, basically people are touching or walking on this, in this other area anyway so they might

[00:08:16]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
Any sort of rattling of the walls or hitting of them might also cause reverberance which I didn't want.

[00:08:25]
{SPEAKER name="Jan Butterfield"}
Now, were you-- did you feel you were successful in getting rid of all that external sound or did you work especially to do

[00:08:33]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
I didn't want to. On this axis here at all.

[00:08:39]
{SPEAKER name="Michael Asher"}
All I wanted to do was on this axis here. So where it was most dense, it had to be most dense at this part and that part
