Student Paper Competition: How does a musician’s body affect what they play?

Studying music poses a conundrum: real musicians don’t play consistently, while machines designed to play an instrument in exactly the same way every time may omit the effects of other factors on the music. In this episode, we talk to Sam Bellows about his research into modeling how the musician’s body affects the diffraction and absorption of clarinet music in directivity measurements. Associated paper: Samuel David Bellows and Timothy Ward Leishman. “Modeling musician diffraction and absorption for artificially excited clarinet directivity measurements.” Proc.
