DESCRIPTION:We live our lives experiencing illumination from starlight to 
 bright sunlight and appreciate the aesthetics of the contrasts possible. S
 imilarly in hearing\, we appreciate the difference between a whisper and t
 he roar of the waterfall. However\, when we come to preserving such contra
 sts for posterity\, the end result often differs from our memory of the ex
 perience. I will attempt to draw together strands of the technical tools a
 nd aspects of how our brains interpret sound are used to create an acousti
 c impression that is representative of our "popular" aesthetics. The talk 
 is aimed at a general audience and will be illustrated with examples.
