A problem faced by orchestras when practicing is the change in sound from when to concert hall is empty to when it is full. Since most concert hall seats have metal bottoms, these serve to reflect the sound produced by the instruments. Even to the highly trained musicians of most orchestras, the change in sound can have an effect on how they play the piece in concert.
The seating in the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Hall - home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic - incoporates a fascinating solution to this acoustic problem by employing fabric. By covering the seat bottoms in fabric the musicians are able to practice in similar conditions to when the hall is full, allowing for a sound that is closer to what they will hear when the performance begins. This simple solution allows the musicians to practice in optimum, concert-like acoustic conditions.
