Audiograph's Sound of the Week: Conroy Memorial Organ

Conroy Memorial Organ at the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland

All week long we've been playingthis sound, and asking you to guess what exactly it is and where exactly in the Bay Area we recorded it.

This auditory guessing game is part of Audiograph, a crowd-sourced collaborative radio project mapping the sonic signature of each of the Bay Area’s nine counties. By using the sounds of voices, nature, industry, and music, Audiograph tells the story of where you live, and the people who live there with you. Every Thursday, we reveal the origins of that week's sound on Crosscurrents, and here in weekly blog posts.

Listen above for the full answer...

DR. RUDY DE VOS: There are 5,298 pipes, and all of them provide a different sound.

To find out more about concerts and tours at the Cathedral of Christ the Light, please visit their website: http://ctlcathedral.org
