ARTSOUNDSCAPES PROJECT - REPOSITORY OF ANECHOIC SOUNDS

This dataset was organised by members of the Artsoundscapes project. It serves as a library of anechoic music and sounds created by the Artsoundscapes project. It includes musical pieces of a great variety of genres and styles to nourish the different research lines. The Venezuelan musician and instrument maker, Yonder Rodriguez, played diverse membranophones and several reconstructions of archaeological instruments, such as Palaeolithic bone pipes, whistles and bullroarers, diverse kinds of rattles and scrapers, and traditional and shamanic Amazonian instruments. Catalan traditional music and other foreign traditions, such as Altaian traditional music, were performed by Guillem Codern, a Catalan musician who is well versed in traditional Tuvan music, such as khoomei and other vocal styles. Aditionally, singers María Illa (female voice) and Julen Gerrikabeitia (male voice), performed a selection of contemporary the pop-rock pieces. More detail about the sound excerpts selected for the stimulus set is provided in the ARTSS-Anechoic recording list (excel file). Data collection was organized by Samantha López-Mochales and Raquel Jiménez-Pasalodos, assisted by Lidia Alvarez-Morales and Margarita Díaz-Andreu. All the sounds were recorded in uncompressed mono format in the anechoic chamber at the La Salle Acoustics Laboratory (Ramon Llull University, Barcelona, Spain) in July 2021. Dr Marc Arnela, Carme Julia Martínez Suquia and Raquel Aparicio-Terres helped during the recording sessions.
