 ==== HeSoAN ====
-The HeSoAN (Hear the Sound of Ars Nova) project is the sequel to the IMAPI project, led by [[https://ideas-cnrs.univ-amu.fr/annuaire/julien-ferrando|Julien Ferrando]], Assistant professor in Ancient music and new technologies at Aix Marseille Université. The project marks the beginning of a new way of approaching heritage through a sensory sound-based approach. Rooted in interdisciplinarity, it combines medieval musicology with virtual acoustics applied to heritage spaces. The starting point of this scientific journey is based on the following question: if today, the Great Chapel of the //Palace des Papes// in Avignon presents a very different appearance from its original state, with bare walls and a total lack of decoration and furnishings, how did it "sound" at the time when the polyphony of 14th-century //Ars Nova// was flourishing? Since Antiquity, and likely even earlier, it has been known that there is a correlation between built structures, the acoustic quality of a space, and its symbolic dimensions, with a focus on enhancing resonances rather than making them confusing and chaotic.

+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 [[https://ideas-cnrs.univ-amu.fr/annuaire/julien-ferrando|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.
+In 2024-2025, a series of experiments will be conducted with the LAM team (IJLRDA, SU), the IDEAS laboratory (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University), the Musica Nova ensemble (Lucien Kandel), and the Diabolus in Musica ensemble (Nicolas Sansarlat). This innovative experimental setup will open up new avenues of research into the musical gestures that emerge from these experiments.
+Through a selected corpus of monodic and polyphonic productions linked to the papal chapel, this experimentation will facilitate:
+  - Archaeoacoustic studies concerning the placement of singers within the ceremonial space of the 14th century.
+  - Proposition of an immersive museum journey into the musical history of the Palais des Papes in the 14th century.
+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.
-By combining historical, musicological sciences, and new technologies, the program's goal is to reconstruct the acoustic properties of the Great Chapel of the //Palace des Papes// in Avignon and to recreate the polyphonic sounds of the Middle Ages through a process committed to scientific creativity and cultural mediation.
