Preserving Australia's Sound Heritage aims to facilitate access to and research on the Peter Burgis Australian Performing Arts Archive and the Archive of Australian Jewish Music. A collaborative project between The University of Western Australia, Monash University, Curtin University and ScreenSound Australia, PASH will create a web-based catalogue of the sound carriers in the collections and will digitise a selection of rare and/or fragile recordings. This project is one of national scope. It will open up new research material, enable national and international web-based access to these resources, stimulate research and lead to greater awareness of Australia's sound heritage.Read moreRead less
Flute properties without players, and without flutes. This project will measure how the acoustic impedance spectra of some flutes depend upon the detailed shape of the bore and the size, shape and position of the holes. It will develop a model to predict, for the benefit of instrument makers, the effect of proposed changes in the geometry of the instrument on the pitches and ease of playing of notes played on the instrument. Importantly, it will allow museum curators to determine tunings and (un ....Flute properties without players, and without flutes. This project will measure how the acoustic impedance spectra of some flutes depend upon the detailed shape of the bore and the size, shape and position of the holes. It will develop a model to predict, for the benefit of instrument makers, the effect of proposed changes in the geometry of the instrument on the pitches and ease of playing of notes played on the instrument. Importantly, it will allow museum curators to determine tunings and (uncompensated) temperaments of historic instruments that cannot readily be played.Read moreRead less
