Irving Solomon "Irv" Teibel (October 9, 1938 - October 28, 2010) was an American field recordist, graphic designer, and photographer. His company, Syntonic Research, Inc., is best known for its influential ''Environments'' psychoacoustic recording series (1969-1979) and ''The Altered Nixon Speech'' (1973). Teibel was also an accomplished photographer who worked as an editor for Ziff Davis and photographed for ''Popular Photography'' and ''Car and Driver''. ==Biography and Work== Teibel was born in Buffalo, New York in 1938.〔 He attended the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California before serving in the army as a public information specialist in Stuttgart, Germany. During this time he became interested in electronic music and musique concrète and began experimenting with tape at a local radio station. Teibel returned from Europe in 1966 and settled in New York City where he worked a number of jobs including associate editor at Ziff Davis. He also took night classes in electronic music at The New School during this time. In 1969, he worked with Tony Conrad on Conrad's film ''Coming Attractions'' which involved recording the ocean at Coney Island. After this experience, Teibel became interested in using natural white noise for psychological purposes. Working with neuropsychologist Lou Gerstman at Bell Labs, he processed a short ocean loop recorded at Brighton Beach through an IBM 360 computer to create one continuous thirty-minute soundscape. This became the first ''Environments'' recording, "The Psychologically Ultimate Seashore." The record was unique for its extremely long playback times—30 minutes per side at 33 1/3 rpm—and could be reproduced at any speed from 16 2/3 up to 45 rpm. In 1970, Teibel created an environmental sound installation for the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, and in 1971, he began teaching a class in experimental recording techniques at The New School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digitalarchives.library.newschool.edu/index.php/Detail/objects/NS050101_ns1972fa )〕 In 1973, to demonstrate how magnetic tape could be manipulated, Teibel edited Richard Nixon’s August 15th speech to reveal that the president, in fact, had “prior knowledge” of the Watergate break-in. In the subsequent years, Teibel performed as an expert witness for magnetic tape technology. In 1981, Teibel moved to Austin, TX with his then-wife Rosanne. They had two daughters, Jennifer and Dara. He lived in Austin for 29 years until his death on October 28, 2010 at age 72.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hosting-22183.tributes.com/show/Irv-Teibel-89693321 )〕 His brother Phil was a violinist with the Buffalo Philharmonic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-22876359.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irv Teibel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
