Ian Cross has long been involved in experimental investigations of the perception of tonal structures as well as of the role of culture and formal education in shaping musical cognition. He is particularly involved in research into the relation between music and evolutionary theory, which initiated collaborations with archaeologists in the Lithoacoustics project (see http://www.mus.cam.ac.uk/~ic108/lithoacoustics/) and subsequently. He is the author of over a hundred papers and book chapters, and has co-edited three books, the most recent being the Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology (2009, with Susan Hallam and Michael Thaut). Ian Cross is also a guitarist.

Claire Marshall
Music archaeologist – currently at the University of Manchester. My research is hinged upon the human experience of sound in the Neolithic and Bronze Age of Britain. I incorporate sensory perspectives on contingency of experience in space and landscapes. I also reconstruct ancient sounding devices and reconstruct the acoustics that may have been present at particular sites in the past.
Steve Marshall
Writer and musician, a regular contributor to Sound On Sound and Fortean Times. Once a composer in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Current sound work involves converting binaural field recordings into 5.1 surround, whilst retaining impressions of height.

Acoustics and Music of British Prehistory Research Network

I attended the workshop in London on ‘sound as heritage object’ and was told about this research cluster into music in British pre-history.
I am a music archaeologist – currently at the University of Manchester. My research is hinged upon the human experience of sound in the Neolithic and Bronze Age of Britain. I incorporate sensory perspectives on contingency of experience in space and landscapes. I also reconstruct ancient sounding devices and reconstruct the acoustics that may have been present at particular sites in the past. My work as a musician also is influenced by my work and I am interested in bringing my perspective to the research network and would like to be included in any discussions and events relating to the progress of the projects.
Kind Regards

I’m much interested in further study of acoustics and cultural uses of echoes through prehistory and history, having studied applied acoustics as a graduate student in archaeology in Greek and Roman theater and amphitheater contexts as well as in Peru in Inca contexts and also as a musician.

Patrick,
there has been a lot of work on sites in South America, although I am not aware of any work relating to acoustics at Machu Picchu. There are a number of researchers involved in this network that have expertise in this area. It might make an interesting international collaborative research project to apply to go to Mach Picchu and/or Moray to measure the acoustics of the space scientifically, to capture the impulse response and analyse the results. I’m sure there would be some international funding that could be applied for.
cheers

John Gillard retired composer and Music Producer Austrailia.
After visiting Chichen Itza in 1974 in Yucatan and noticing some very odd delays and acoustic effects around the pyramids and stonework in general, I went on to visit Machu Picchu in Peru and found some even stranger ones.
I don’t know what those guys were doing all those years ago but they were certainly doing something. Time to get The A Team in to check it out. Hit it Rupert.

Great site and project with really generous information – please keep me posted with updates.
My interest in this area leans more towards geography than archaeology. The current project that I’m developing is a binaural and ambisonic study of the Brazilian landscape the “cerrado” – the savana-like vegetation of central Brazil, with the main objective of developing virtual sound environments in theatrical contexts (performance, installations
and radiophonic art). There is some very brief information on the project at this address:
http://audiocena.com.br/en/cerrado
and this page will be updated as the project develops.
Thanks,
