Abstract
This presentation dicusses Art Benade's influence on different instrumental acoustics projects at IRCAM, a musical research institution headed by composer Pierre Boulez. Art Benade was a member of IRCAM's original scientific advisory committee. New performance techniques, such as flute and trombone multiphonics, input impedance measurements of wind instruments and mutes for brasses were among the projects in which Art Benade made contributions, as a theoretical physicist and an adept experimenter, but also as an experienced musical performer and instrument maker. These multifaceted talents enabled him to communicate effectively with composers and performers, to understand musical problems in physical terms (and vice‐versa), and to participate in every step of these projects. We will present the most recent results of some of these projects and discuss more particularly a new model of the “wah‐wah” mute for the french horn.
