Has it ever been used for an actual music event?  Or was it just a labor of love?

It was proof of concept for a TLA government agency that needed portable ELF.  It wasn't intended to be used for musical performance but I'm sure the DSL guys put a J-series horn on either side of it and played some tunes  ;)

This is from an "ad".  So it must be true.

It must be a new way to measure sound-I guess.

Back in the '50s the military played around with weaponizing ELF.  Some very large horns were put up on towers and aimed at buildings in a field.  I think this was in Menlo Park or somewhere in the area, back when it was much more rural and there was open land to play with such things.  I've always wondered if the Matterhorn was another swing at a similar concept.  Not that anyone would be able to say.

The military would never tell us what the intended application was.

My guess (based on the need for a 16-18Hz warble tone and to be totally self contained (speaker-amps-generator) in a shipping container, was that it would be used to mask convoy movements.

But I could be totally wrong.
