Experiencing Historical Soundscapes: the Royal Entries of Emperor Charles V in Iberian Cities

Description du projet

Restitution sensorielle du paysage sonore festif des villes ibériques jusqu’en 1558

Les technologies numériques sont essentielles pour capturer les expériences sensorielles du passé à travers des approches historiques, sensorielles et artistiques. En combinant celles-ci, le projet ExpSoundscapes, financé par l’UE, permettra de combler le fossé entre la description, l’analyse et l’expérience des paysages sonores historiques. Il intégrera des recherches sur la musique, l’histoire, la géographie, les arts du spectacle et la technologie afin de restituer les paysages sonores des premières entrées royales modernes dans les villes ibériques à l’époque de l’empereur Charles Quint (1517-1558). Des informations sonores issues de la documentation contemporaine serviront de base à la création d’un événement multimédia immersif, dans lequel des scènes sonores seront reproduites par des sons artificiels et de la musique en direct. Des représentations historiques et des rendus en 3D d’espaces urbains permettront de recréer l’environnement spatial.

Objectif

This project aims at bridging the gap between describing, reflecting on, and experiencing historical soundscapes. It will integrate historical, sensorial, and artistic approaches so as to retrieve the soundscapes of Early Modern Royal entries in Iberian cities in the time of Emperor Charles V (1517-58). Sonic information will be extracted from coeval documentation to be analysed and organised in a database and georeferenced in a map through GIS technology. The sound data will serve as the basis to create an immersive multimedia event, where selected sonic scenes will be reproduced by engineered sound and live music. The spatial surroundings will be recreated through historical paintings and 3D renditions of selected urban spaces. The immersive event will be a highly distinctive experience, with the potential to transform the traditional understanding of historical events by introducing elements of sensorial scholarship. It will facilitate exposure of high-quality repertoire within specific historical events. Likewise, the project will explore new avenues of the possibilities that the use of digital technologies provides to the understanding of music historical subjects (as postulated by European policies such as 'Digital Futures') and its management as intangible heritage. This research will make academic impact at different levels. The most significant will be the establishment of a groundbreaking methodology to facilitate the experiencing of sensorial experiences of the past, drawing on a phenomenological perspective. It will provide complementary tools to the traditional understanding of historical soundscapes, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration that will bring together areas such as music, history, geography, performance, and technology. Ultimately, it will open alternative pathways to communicate historical events to modern audiences.
