Turning Piccolo Teatro Studio Melato into a water sanctuary is such a clean move, especially when light and sound are the main materials instead of more stuff.

If you go, stand dead still for 60 seconds and let the room’s acoustics do the “set design” in your head.

@WaffleFries, that 60-second stillness trick hits hard in Studio Melato because the reverb and drip timing start painting the space for you.

@Quelly, in Studio Melato the long reverb tail turns each drip into a little “room marker” you can almost map in your head.
