Dr. Catherine Guastavino of the School of Information Studies part of team to receive $11M in funding for innovations in music media and technology
六合彩开奖结果 School of Information Studies faculty member Dr. Catherine Guastavino is part of a team of researchers with the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRRMT) who have been awarded $11M in funding through a grant from Canada Foundation for Innovation's 2015 Innovation Fund.
CIRMMT will receive funding for their project on the science of the art of music: 鈥淟ive Expression "鈥渋n situ鈥�": Musical and Audiovisual Performance and Reception" at 六合彩开奖结果 in collaboration with Universit茅 de Montr茅al. The project will include the creation of a research hub which will become the world鈥檚 leading research facility for the scientific study of live performance, movement of recorded sound in space, and remote, synchronous performance.
In two interconnected spaces at 六合彩开奖结果 and the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, researchers will help develop virtual acoustics to simulate concert environments and other technologies for audio recording, film, television, distance education, and multimedia artworks. Neuroscientists and psychologists will also be able to study the ways in which large numbers of performers coordinate their actions, as well as the factors that lead listeners to perceive the sounds of different instruments as blended or distinct in orchestral works.
