Du Vernois Music, sounds, & Acoustics

 
 

I have had a deep interest in both the art and science of musical sounds for as long as he can remember. As a physicist, I taught courses in the physics of music, in acoustics, and in architectural acoustics. I also consulted in the modeling of room acoustics for recording studios and performance halls, and in the simulation of microphone effects. As a musician, I was involved with a number of different bands over the years performing largely in the three-way intersection of jazz, modern composed music, and rock.


I now live in Minneapolis, and am available for acoustics consultations and analyses of performance space acoustics. Am also interested in possible collaboration on experimental music. Recent interests in that direction include the work of Cornelius Cardew and a renewed interest in SPK & Throbbing Gristle.
