MADELEINE BRAND, host: And now we turn to a humbler kind of music, the kind that's really not      meant to be heard in public:  singing in the shower, for example, or      under our breaths in the office.  Here's an audio snapshot of one such      auteur living in Massachusetts.</s>Mr. GLENWAY FRIPP: We're at the Loeb Building in Woods Hole, and there      is a corner here that has some very high resonances, or what are known as      room modes.  These are the fact that all buildings have certain      frequencies that are louder than the other frequencies in the room, and      this particular corner, which is in a stairwell, happens to have a nice      resonance, pretty near B-flat. So we're going to walk into this corner,      I'm going to be singing B-flat and, all of a sudden, my voice will      disappear and all you will hear is the resonance because the resonance is      almost equal to my voice.</s>Mr. GLENWAY FRIPP: OK, the note we're searching for is somewhere around this...</s>Mr. GLENWAY FRIPP: You can't even hear my voice, right?  And that's how I      discovered this.  You're just talking and you--`Wow, what is that      weirdness jumping out at me from the room?'</s>MADELEINE BRAND, host: That was Glenway Fripp.  He's a musician hanging out at the      Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.  That audio      snapshot was produced by Viki Merrick, and came to us from Atlanta Public      Media and member station WCAI on Cape Cod.</s>MADELEINE BRAND, host: This is DAY TO DAY from NPR News.  I'm Madeleine Brand.
