Student Grant Updates: An investigation of choral blending through soundfield capture, acoustic evaluation, and perceptual analysis methods

The aim of their project is to evaluate musical blend in choral performance from both signal and perceptual analysis methods. They will analyze choral blend on two levels: at the sound source level and the room acoustic level. The influence of feedback from the acoustic environment—along with coordinated performance strategies between musicians—is observed to have a high impact on individual musical performances and significantly affect the resulting sound field of joint performance.
