How do we listen to music?
On the one hand, the PDS team (Perception and Sound Design), whose research includes psychoacoustics as well as the physiological and neural processes of hearing and their evolution. On the other, the APM team (Analysis of Musical Practices), whose work addresses, among other things, the social dimension of musical listening, particularly in contexts of performance and improvisation. At the intersection of these approaches, three researchers from these teams, Emmanuel Ponsot, Patrick Susini and Clément Canonne, set out to examine what had until then remained largely unexplored in music: how do we listen to music, and more specifically, to polyphonic music?
