 The project investigates our perception of space through sound and images. The journey starts with a concert, organized to celebrate the 850th birthday of the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, staging a symphonic orchestra accompanying soloists and choirs through J. Massenet oratorio “La Vierge” (The Virgin). Although brilliant, this performance was nonetheless ephemeral, offering this 19th century piece augmented by this edifice of such peculiar acoustics to a privileged few. The project investigates our perception of space through sound and images.

-The [[http://www.lam.jussieu.fr/Projets/CloudTheatre.html|Cloud Theatre]] project proposes to create realistic auralizations for applications in historic research in the field of the performing arts. The French project [[https://echo-projet.limsi.fr/|ANR-ECHO]] studies the use of voice in the recent history of theater. It is a multi-disciplinary project which combines the efforts of historians, theater scientists, and acousticians. In the scope of this project an audio-visual simulation was created which combines auralizations with visualizations of former configurations of the Théâtre de l'Athénée over a series of renovations, enabling researchers to realistically perceive theater performances in foregone rooms. Simulations include the room, 2 actors on stage, and an audience. To achieve these simulation, architectural plans were studied from archives providing various details of the different theater configurations, from which the corresponding visual and room acoustic geometrical acoustics (GA) models were created. The resulting simulations allow for 360° audio-visual presentations at various positions in the theater using commercial standard hardware.+The [[http://www.lam.jussieu.fr/Projets/CloudTheatre.html|Cloud Theatre]] project proposes to create realistic auralizations for applications in historic research in the field of the performing arts.

 +{{ :echo:echo-anr-logo.png?200|}} ECHO is a collaborative research project.  Partners in the project include researchers from a wide range of disciplines : theatre professionals trained in history, anthropology, architecture, literature, music and aesthetics, researchers in sociology and philosophy, curators specialized in theatre and audiovisual, sound engineers and acousticians specializing in room acoustic simulations. ECHO is a French ANR-funded project [[https://anr.fr/Projet-ANR-13-CULT-0004|(ANR-13-CULT-0004)]], 12/2013--06/2017.

 +ECHO was born out of the idea that the study of Western theatre, despite its vocal, sound, and acoustic aspects, was no exception to the overvaluation of the visual. The research prolonged an initial project titled “Theatre Sound (19th - 21st centuries)” with a refocusing on three aspects: on France, on the second half of the 20th century, and on the spoken voice. The ECHO project approached theatre as a space organised by and for the spoken voice, thus returning to the commonly accepted definition by modern acousticians of the theatrical space (end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th), which seemed to be less suitable: technologies (from microphones to tape recorders) had transformed the sound of the theatre; significantly, the relation to the text, to the verbal, to the language (here, the French language) had experienced major transformations. Based on the hypothesis that, in the vital domain of language, transformation does not denote disappearance, the team explored how artists and technicians, from post-World War II to the end of the 1990s, have renewed the conditions and forms of the stage spoken word and its listening. In doing so, ECHO has allowed the reintegration of the theatre, an art which has contributed to structure Western society, within today’s crucial reflections on our relationship to the art of practicing (listening, reading, memorising, vocalising – singing) a written or elaborated language.

-The PhD project consists of assisting in the creation of a real-time room acoustic simulator for use with musicians, taking into account the musicians movements and the impact of dynamic source directivity. The simulator will be put into use for studying the impact of room acoustics on musicians playing, focusing on comparisons between Baroque chamber music venues and modern day equivalents. The thesis work will contribute to the research and documentation of pertinent venues, acoustic measurements of existing venues, and the creation of ecologically valid geometrical acoustics models of on these venues. The thesis will comprise a series of perceptual studies examining the impact of acoustic variations on playing, in the context of historically informed performance methods.

 When we think about great architectural achievements in history, such as Gothic cathedrals, their importance is strongly tied to their acoustic environment. The acoustics of a heritage site is an intangible consequence of the space’s tangible construction and furnishings. It is ephemeral, while also a concrete result of the physical nature of the environment. Through this project, we will explore how via measurements, research, and virtual reconstructions the acoustics of one of France’s most notable heritage spaces can be documented, reconstructed, and experienced by both researchers and the general public. Inspired by the project’s namesake (Phé, for the constellation Phoenix), the project focuses on the digital reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris, a world heritage site, bringing it back from the ashes, examining its evolution and importance in history, and working with the restoration team on its future. The consortium comprises research teams in SHS and STIC, with experience in historical, musical, architectural, and acoustical research. When we think about great architectural achievements in history, such as Gothic cathedrals, their importance is strongly tied to their acoustic environment.

-The [[https://www.prism.cnrs.fr/projets/projets-collaboratifs/imapi/|I.M.A.P.I]] project is part of the archaeo-acoustic framework and consists of an attempt to recreate the historical ambiances of a major heritage site for music in the Mediterranean region: the Pontifical Chapel of the Palace of the Popes in Avignon. This building, which was one of the major centers of polyphony in the 14th century, is still today one of the most suitable places in the region for the interpretation of medieval vocal music as instrumental music. The aim is to question the listening of 14th century heritage music through a corpus of polyphonic works, interpreted via an immersive virtual acoustic environment reproducing the papal chapel around 1362. This reconstruction will enable exploring new avenues of research into historically informed musical practices and the interaction between the musical gesture and sound space with which it resonates. +The [[https://imapi.hypotheses.org/|I.M.A.P.I]] project (Interprétation Musicale en Acoustique Patrimoniale Immersive) is part of the archaeo-acoustic framework and consists of an attempt to recreate the historical ambiances of a major heritage site for music in the Mediterranean region: the Pontifical Chapel of the Palace of the Popes in Avignon.
