Yeah. Dunno if convolution would do the same good, but the idea is to 
get 100% natural reverb by playing the dry sound through the silo with a 
speaker and recording the sound in the other end with a mic. One could 
then mix this signal with the original signal the way some 
recording-studios in fact do, except they haven't got silos but only 
small concrete cubes in the building.

Yes, I realize this is crazy, but when silophone.net worked i tried it. 
Even in bad Realplayer-resolution it sounded quite good and different 
from any digital reverb. Those were the days ,)

Nothin serious, just buggin...
