New Instrument-Making and Instrumental Archeology - Instrument Fabrication at IRCAM
Edit






How can an acoustic instrument be transformed and its possibilities augmented using new technologies? Can we recreate and play virtual examples of instruments from the past using archeological data? The same lab that "augments" the possibilities of an acoustic instrument today is capable of recreating—virtually—and making an antique instrument be heard, like the cornu from Pompeii. These scientific, technological, and musical issues examine "sound systems and signals" with a physical approach to "audio acoustics" and "instruments".

Discover the answers and explore them yourself by testing instruments available for your use or by opening the door of the anechoic chamber, exeptionally open to the public.
