EAA Technical Committee Musical Acoustics
EAA TC-MUS
The EAA Technical
Committee on Musical Acoustics was established at ISMA2001 in Perugia (11th
September 2001) on the proposal of A. Houtsma.
D. M. Campbell and D. Stanzial accepted to act as coordinators of the group.
- The first significant
activity of the Musical Acoustics TC was to
contribute to the organization of special sessions during the EAA-Forum Acousticum
in Sevilla (September 2002).
- The second official meeting of the TC was held in Sevilla on 16th and 19th September 2002, and was attended by 43 musical acousticians participating in Forum Acusticum. M. Campbell and D. Stanzial were confirmed as coordinators of the group and Dr. David Sharp was designated as the TC secretary. During the meeting Malte Kob also offered his willingness to maintain a web-space dedicated to the TC on Musical Acoustics on the EAA internet site. After a wide discussion among those present, the prevailing opinion came out that the TC on Musical Acoustics should not have a bureaucratic structure relying on national acoustical associations which are members of the EAA, but should be a free group simply composed by people interested in working in Musical Acoustics and willing to be active on it.
- Currently the TC is involved in supporting a special edition of a Musical Acoustics issue of the journal "Applied Acoustics". It is also lending support to the EAA Symposium on Architectural and Urban Acoustics and Musical Acoustics, Bilbao, Spain, 15-16-17 October 2003, organized jointly by the Spanish, French and Portuguese Societies.
