Накратко на български

Акустичните характеристики на английските катедрали се анализират чрез измервания и компютърни модели, за да се разбере как сградите оформят звука. Това позволява възстановяване на звуковата среда при повреди и създаване на виртуални аудио записи за туристите.

SOUND AS INTANGIBLE HERITAGE: PRESERVING THE ACOUSTICS OF CATHEDRALS IN THEUNITED KINGDOM

Cathedral Acoustics aims to study, preserve and disseminate the acoustical heritage of English cathedrals, focusing on the cathedrals of York, Ely, Bristol and Ripon. The study is based on the characterisation of the acoustic field experienced in their interiors by means of acoustic measurements, computer models and virtual acoustic techniques. Cathedrals are part of the European culture, and the sound environment experienced in them is a remarkable part of their character. Traditionally, the study and the preservation of this group of heritage buildings has been focused on the visuals, and this project aims to bring more attention to the acoustic aspects. The acoustic information recovered tells us how these buildings interact and shape the sounds produced in their interiors, which can be crucial if the building suffers any damage or change and its sound needs to be restored. Furthermore, the acoustical responses collected through the measurements and simulations can be used to generate auralisations. Auralisation is the process by which a dry sound (captured in a reflection-free environment) is modified by using the acoustic response of a building to acquire the acoustic properties of that space, so that, upon listening to it, the listener is virtually transported to that place. The project’s approach brings economic and social benefits to the EU by promoting and enriching heritage tourism, and by making the acoustical heritage of cathedrals widely accessible through the auralisations.

Цел на проекта

Cathedral acoustics represents a key part of Europe’s intangible cultural heritage at risk of being altered by architectural deterioration or restoration work. This multidisciplinary project aims to preserve the acoustics of four English cathedrals, which represent the diversity of this group of heritage buildings, by characterising their acoustic behaviour through impulse response measurements as well as by recreating their sound environment throughout history using computer models. Virtual acoustic techniques are applied to provide a simulation of the aural experience within the buildings at different points in history, including extracts of speech and music pieces that were part of liturgical or cultural celebrations. Moreover, listening tests are conducted to assess the acoustical perception in cathedrals.This fellowship will develop the applicant’s skills in virtual acoustics, sound design, and the use of new technologies for the study and dissemination of acoustical heritage, while at the same time the fellow’s technical background in acoustic engineering provides opportunities for knowledge transfer to the host institution.The project’s innovative approach will bring economic and social benefits to the EU by promoting and enriching heritage tourism, and by making the acoustical heritage of cathedrals widely accessible through the auralisations. The importance of sound as intangible cultural heritage will be disseminated to the general public through talks in festivals, public exhibitions and workshops. It will also result in 3 journal publications, 6 conference papers and the organisation of an international symposium on acoustical heritage. The project will encourage international collaboration networks in the field of heritage acoustics, focussing on the study of cathedrals around Europe using the methodology applied during the fellowship.
