They didn’t call it ‘sound masking’ in the Wild West but the constant janky tones of the honky tonk piano most certainly played that role as much as it did a rudimentary form of entertainment.
As the Hollywood Western trope goes: when the piano player stops, all eyes turn to the saloon doors. I felt a bit like that standing next to Marcus Rose as he hit the mute button on the Moodsonic control tablet and a room full of Sydney Catholic Schools office staff all paused momentarily, like a split-second mannequin challenge, wondering what had changed.
Moodsonic is a fancy, bespoke sound masking system. Moodsonic would prefer you don’t call it sound masking, and out of respect to Moodsonic, this will be the last time I use the term ‘sound masking’ in reference to its system, but it’s clearly the quickest way to understand what it’s about.
