Paisajes Sonoros del Maestro Roncador

The Spanish Acoustic Society has published a book written by Francesc Daumal, as a contribution of the International Year of Sound 2020.

The book, entitled “Paisajes Sonoros del Maestro Roncador” (Sound Landscapes of the Snoring Professor), is a fun story that, through different episodes of the professor’s life, explains the fundamental principles of acoustics and soundscapes.

Francesc Daumal is an architect, professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and a member of the Spanish Acoustic Society.

Este libro se publica como continuación del titulado Maestro Roncador, editado por la Sociedad Española de Acústica en 2014, dentro de la colección “Temas de Acústica”. En él se desgranan los episodios más importantes de la vida del Maestro, que muestra a sus alumnos, en sus perturbadoras e inquietantes clases, las experiencias sonoras de la forma más práctica y atractiva que puede ofrecerse. Además, se describen episodios de la vida personal de la madurez y vejez del Maestro, desconocidos para el lector y que descubren de manera inequívoca su personalidad.
