-When we think about great architectural achievements in European history, such as ancient
-amphitheatres or gothic cathedrals, their importance is strongly tied to their acoustic
-environment. The acoustics of a site is an intangible consequence of the space’s tangible
-construction and furnishings. It is ephemeral, while also a concrete result of the physical
-nature of the environment. Through the “Past Has Ears” project (the PHE project), we will
-explore how via measurements, research, and virtual reconstructions the acoustics of
-heritage spaces can be documented, reconstructed, and experienced for spaces both
-existing and in various altered states. Inspired by the project’s namesake (Phé, for the
-constellation Phoenix), and the recent fires at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris (2019) and
-Teatro La Fenice opera hall (1996, also meaning Phoenix), PHE focuses on the preservation,
-conservation, and reconstruction of heritage sites, bringing them back from the ashes for use
-by researchers, stake holders, cultural institutions, and the general public. Comprising
-research teams with experience in acoustic reconstructions and historical research, paired
-with national heritage monuments of acoustic importance, the consortium will develop a joint
-methodology for addressing relevant archaeological acoustics issues across Europe with
-historians of different disciplines. Specialists in tangible/intangible cultural heritage legal
-issues ensure the viability and longevity of the methodology guidelines. The consortium will
-prototype next generation exploration tools for presenting digital acoustic reconstructions to
-scientists and museum visitors alike. Results will be evaluated with associated test heritage
-sites, created in partnership with stakeholders and experienced content producers.
-Presentation methods provide first-person in-situ or offsite explorations, with the ability to
-experience various historical periods. For deteriorated sites, this approach provides access to
-situations impossible to experience onsite.

+===== Productions =====
+==== "La Vierge 2020" Hearing the Past: an immersive virtual audio concert for the ears ====
+Production project : [[http://acoustic-task-force-notre-dame.dalembert.upmc.fr/doku.php?id=lavierge2020|Recreation of the performance of "La Vierge" for the 850th anniversary of Notre-Dame Cathedral]]
+As an initial production, a pre-project deliverable, coinciding with the International Year of Sound [[https://sound2020.org/|(sound2020.org)]] and to commemorate the fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral on April 15, 2019, members of the PHEND team (researchers and sound engineers) created a virtual reconstruction of a 2013 performance recording made in the cathedral, recreating the monumental acoustics and the event.
+==== "Looking for Notre-Dame" An immersive sound fiction ====
+Production project [[http://alarecherchedenotredame.pasthasears.eu/|Looking for Notre-Dame]], in 4 Episodes is available in full on [[https://www.audible.fr/pd/Looking-for-Notre-Dame-Livre-Audio/B0C1P22CZW|Audible]], free for active subscribers, or direct listening **[[http://pasthasears.dalembert.upmc.fr/doku.php/productions/alarecherche|HERE]]**. Available in French and English.
+Looking for Notre-Dame is a 3D sound experience that plunges us into the mind of the young Victor Hugo as he begins his research for his future “cathedral novel”, Notre Dame de Paris. The year is 1828. Hugo is 26 years old. Notre-Dame was then a church in a dilapidated state. It would only be renovated by Viollet-le-Duc and Jean-Baptiste Lassus in 1843. Notre-Dame was dying, and Hugo wanted to resurrect it as it had been in the Middle Ages. The legendary author plunges us into an investigation / experiment on the sound of Notre-Dame, allowing us to explore its acoustics and soundscapes over the centuries.

+==== "Notre-Dame Whispers" An immersive audio-guide ====
+Production project "Notre-Dame Whispers", is available for free for Android and iOS, from April 2024 [[https://www.ekkoapp.art/|(Link to application)]] in French, English, and Spanish.
+"Shhh... Notre-Dame is speaking to you... Listen up!
+Experience an extraordinary sensory journey around the famous Parisian monument. Explore from viewpoint to viewpoint and immerse yourself in thrilling stories narrated by the oldest lady in Paris. Grab your headphones, your phone, and get ready to dive in. Live each story from the inside, as if you were there. Along a route composed of 6 listening stations, Notre-Dame shares her memories, which you collect one by one to recreate the rose of her memory.

Inspired by the project’s namesake (Phé, for the constellation Phoenix), the project focuses on the digital reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris, a world heritage site, bringing it back from the ashes, examining its evolution and importance in history, and working with the restoration team on its future. The consortium comprises research teams in SHS and STIC, with experience in historical, musical, architectural, and acoustical research.
