A Multimodal Approach for Digitizing, Analyzing, and Simulating Traditional Musical Organs Through 3D Technologies, Acoustic Analysis and Interactive Experiences

Call: HORIZON-CL2-2024-HERITAGE-ECCCH-01-01

Of European scope. With a Public character. It has been granted under a regime of Competitive.

MusicSphere aims to develop tools that combine advanced technologies for preserving, studying, and providing access to the cultural heritage aspects of traditional musical organs. The project will focus on traditional wind instruments such as Pipe Organs and their ancient Greek counterpart such as ‘Hydraulis’. By employing digital technologies precise digital replicas of these instruments will be created, capturing intricate physical and mechanical details and aiding in the preservation and restoration efforts. The study will involve analysing the unique sound characteristics of the organs and utilizing acoustic simulations in order to accurately recreate their tonal qualities and the interaction of sound with surrounding architecture and environmental conditions.
