Elliot K. Canfield-Dafilou studies relationships between architectural acoustics and listeners, musicians, and composers. His work is multidisciplinary and frequently combines scientific and creative endeavors. He was a researcher in the Institut Jean le Rond d’Alembert at Sorbonne Université studying the aural heritage of Notre-Dame de Paris. Elliot earned his Ph.D. from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University with a dissertation on Performing, Recording, and Producing Immersive Music. At Stanford, Elliot was part of the Icons of Sound project simulating Byzantine chant in the acoustics of Turkey’s Hagia Sophia. At the ISM, he will continue the exploration of how the acoustics of sacred spaces affect music and auditory perception. Learn more about Elliot’s work.
