The background music in the first page comes from a live recording of a
performance of maestro Salvatore Accardo and his quartet, which played in the
Theatres Olimpico in Vicenza and Farnese in Parma. During the experiments (which
involved three different Italian teams), the Bolognese team (Tronchin, Shimokura) measured sound
properties of the soundboard of the Stradivari violin belonging to Accardo, and the
impulse responses in both the Theatres by means of a dummy head and a Soundfield
probe, and recorded the full performance (a Schubert quartet music), which was utilised
afterwards for experiments in the Arlecchino Ambisonic listening room in the
laboratory in Bologna. Click on the left to enlarge the picture |

The logo of IACMA represent a famous painting (Concerto)
of Lorenzo Costa (Ferrara, 1460 - Mantua, 1535), an Italian painter who operated mainly in Bologna. The painting (now
conserved at National Gallery, London) represents a typical performance in
an Italian city. At that time, Lorenzo Costa was active in different
Countries in Italy and in Europe, and he worked a lot in towns that
nowadays are in the Emilia-Romagna region. If you wish to see a larger
image of the painting, click on the picture on the left, or in the corner
in the top. |
