ALHAMBRA Cartografia Sonora del Patio De Los Leones by josepcerda

Presents the research about a whole new unprecedented aspect regarding concerning the study of the sound of the Alhambra of Granada: the Sound Cartography of the monument. The Sound Landscape of the Alhambra has been studied by several authors , but our main contribution is setting /establishing the parameters of a geometrical and compositive research study of the space, which has lead to realize geolocalized recordings by means of taping a binaural head, a system of recording which allows capturing of tridimensional sound, as we are able to feel during an itinerary over the real space. Sound Cartography is the term we use to define and analyze the location of sound in the space. Up to now, itwhat had been recorded is the space of Palacios Reales/Royal Palaces, through conventional microphonics, with stereo recording. In our research, we have set certain recording parameters by geolocalizing the sounds in the space, with the help of microsounds placing, and through the itineraries of water as sound source. It has been performed aº geometrical research of the spaces has been conducted, it has also been set the feasible itineraries in the rooms and gardens of the Alhambra, in order to eventually set complex recording parameters where the sound features of every room and garden are set. The field recordings were perforemedperformed by means of the geometrical itinerary in the space from the harmonic and regulating outlines of the monument.
