[AUDITORY] PhD full-funded 3yr position on Experimental Virtual Archaeological-Acoustics at the Chateau de Versailles, in Paris



(apologies for cross-posting)
(please distribute to potential candidates)

We have a new funding opportunity for a PhD on the Experimental Virtual Archeological-Acoustics: Multimodal study of the influence of rooms on playing techniques of musicians on 17th and 18th century instruments at Versailles

Keywords
Virtual acoustics, virtual reality, room acoustics, psychoacoustics, musical acoustic, historically informed performance, musicology, Baroque period, Chateau de Versailles

Thesis topic: 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 classical period equivalents (Berlioz time). 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 some of these venues. The thesis will include a series of perceptual studies examining the impact of acoustic variations on playing, in the context of historically informed performance methods.
