| The HeSoAN (Hear the Sound of Ars Nova) project aims to conduct experimental research on the interpretation of Ars Nova music, as it was sung in the papal chapel of Avignon in the 14th century. | The HeSoAN (//Hear the Sound of Ars Nova//) project aims to conduct experimental research on the interpretation of Ars Nova music, as it was sung in the papal chapel of Avignon in the 14th century. |

| Led by Julien Ferrando, this research is carried out within an experimental framework in archaeoacoustics, relying on a 3D architectural survey that accurately reconstructs the ceremonial space of the papal chapel as it resonated around 1362. The project will allow for a detailed investigation into the auditory experience of musicians (performances within the reconstructed medieval context) as well as the heritage dimension (the reception of the works in the medieval acoustics). It will also examine the reception of polytextual musical works (motets and mass movements), furthering our understanding of the effects of compositional techniques and the subtle interactions between text and music as conveyed to various audiences. The HeSoAN project will offer a new way of understanding the musical and sonic history of this significant medieval monument. | Led by Julien Ferrando, this research is carried out within an experimental framework in archaeoacoustics, relying on a 3D architectural survey that accurately reconstructs the ceremonial space of the papal chapel as it resonated around 1362.

| Preliminary results of the experiments and analysis of performers' testimonies will be presented through a series of filmed interviews and post-experimentation surveys. This project falls within the realm of practice-based research, with collaborations between scientists & scholars (musicologists, acousticians, aestheticians) and artists. The experimental immersive heritage acoustics recordings will contribute to the future immersive visitor experience of the Palais des Papes. | Preliminary results of the experiments and analysis of performers' testimonies will be presented through a series of filmed interviews and post-experimentation surveys.
