ANIMUSIC - National Association of Musical Instruments

6005-270 SÃO VICENTE DA BEIRA - PORTUGAL

Animusic (Associação Nacional de Instrumentos MUSICais) is a cultural association founded in 2010.

The Association was founded by Dr Patricia Lopes Bastos together with an international group of academics, university and music conservatory professors, museum curators, musicians, collectors and amateurs to promote the research and the multidisciplinary study of musical instruments from prehistory to the present day.

It is composed, by statute legally deposited in accordance with Portuguese law, of a President, a vice-president and other board members, as well as a scientific committee of experts, which varies from year to year, for the evaluation of the candidatures proposed for the work of the various congresses organised.

Animusic Pt was formed in 2010 [[1]], [[2]]to deepen research into organology, in Portugal, at the early beginning, and then spreading out the researches done all over the world by connecting researchers together and let them meet together in yarly congresses organized in Portugal at Universities, Music Conservatories, Museums. These meeting becoming the opportunity to exchange the results of the researches and the discoveries done by the Animusic Pt members, which are accepted into the Association by their contribution and knowledge, academic degree and profession.The Association developed and promoted the study and the research also on site where historical musical instruments were found, deepening their social, religious function and looking at their technology concerning the materials they were done by, their physical aspects concerning the sound, their mechanical construction, their artistic form and their role in the society were they appeared for the first time; more recently on their preservation, restoration, museum display and the possibility of being played directly or through the performance of faithful replicas.

CULTURE, MEMORY AND SCIENCE

Animusic founders and members believe in the unanimous recognition of musical instruments in the world, part and partners of the human being since always. They are products of and produce evolution, in them Inventiveness and Art are fused.

To promote knowledge and research about this always surprising patrimony, Animusic has been founded in 2010, being the first organological society in Portugal [from "organum", ou "όργανον", meaning 'tool' or 'instrument', 'organology' is generally accepted to designate the science of musical instruments.]. The Associação Nacional de Instrumentos Musicais – ANIMUSIC was legally established in January of 2010 and has the main objective of supporting organology and all related areas. The position of president is held by Dr Patricia Lopes Bastos [[3]], that of vice-president by Dr Jeremy Montagu [[4]]. The Association is welcoming all that protect, help or support the scientific and cultural development, as well as the study and the preservation of memory and patrimony, inviting all who are interested to become members of ANIMUSIC.

ANIMUSIC's field of activity includes. musical instruments, museology, ancient musical instruments concerts, workshop, meeting, conferences on organology, a multidisciplinary science on the study of musical instruments in the history of mankind (from the Bronze Age to the present day); this subject focuses on historical dating, construction, the physical principles of sound, the chemical principles relating to materials, mechanical construction, their social, artistic and religious use, and finally their conservation, restoration and museum display.

With the use of historical instruments or their faithful replicas, conferences, seminars, demonstrations and concerts are organised, held by musicians of various ethnic backgrounds who play the instruments of their territory, giving explanatory lectures to deepen their technical knowledge and use.

The Association holds annual international congresses in different cities in Portugal (Aveiro; Braga [[5]], [[6]],[[7]], [[8]], [[9]]; Evora [[10]][[11]], ; Tavira [[12]]; Caldas da Rainha [[13]]; [[14]], [[15]]; Tomar [[16]], [[17]], [[18]], [[19]]; Belmonte [[20]], [[21]]; Coimbra ; Castelo Branco and Fundao [[22]], [[23]];Braga [[24]]; Porto [[25]]; Madeira [[26]], [[27]], [[28]], [[29]], [[30]], [[31]] with the aim of bringing together experts in the field (particularly university professors, conservatory professors, museum curators, engineers and technicians from various branches, collectors and enthusiasts).

Animusic is gathering artists that create and perform in all arts, and scientists from all fields, including makers of musical instruments, sound producers, historians, conservators, physicists, psychologists, biologists, doctors... That is, anyone who is interested in sharing their knowledge and in learning with others and want to enjoy a one of a kind event dedicated to "sound" in its multiple facets. At the conferences the Scientific Sessions explore a diverse range of topics like sound engineering, musical innovation, historical instruments, educative methodologies and more. Participants learn about the latest advancements in music technology, sound design, and instrument crafting; they engage with scientists and artists, share and broaden your knowledge in the fascinating world of sound, musical instruments and art. During conferences interactive workshops led by wonderful pedagogues allow participants to try hands-on experience and delve into the artistry behind music creation. Thanks to the networking participants and members of the association connect with like-minded professionals, artists, and enthousiasts.

Dr. Patricia Lopes Bastos [[33]] background:

Research Starting her career in performance practice (keyboard instruments) and teaching (music and cultural heritage), as a researcher she has dedicated to the study of museological procedures and on all areas related to organology, namely methodologies for universal and specific measurements, acoustic analysis, technical drawing (2D, 3D, 4D), classification, terminology, cataloguing, conservation, exhibition, management politics and promotional activities. She specifically invented, for her on-the-field measurements, a portative 3-axis ruler especially conceived for objects with irregular characteristics. Her book "Our Patrimony" covers more than 25 years of research on museological issues. From 2009, she has developed a pioneer methodology for the study of the sound properties of rocks in archaeological sites. Academic background She has concluded her Doctor degree (Music-Piano) at the University of Aveiro, in Portugal, after completing the Superior Course of Piano from the Superior School of Music in Lisbon, the DM degree in Piano from the Faculty of Music of the Superior School of Arts at Utrecht, in The Netherlands, and a Master of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, USA. From her PhD research resulted a thesis on Performance Analysis about "The sonatas and sonatinas for piano solo by Fernando Lopes-Graça", a CD-ROM (with analytical charts, texts and recordings by the author) and the publication of the revised edition of the eight studied works (in four volumes, published by the University of Aveiro). She attended complementary courses, including historical Performance Practice (on clavichord, harpsichord, organ and pianoforte), carillon and other instrument techniques, construction and conservation of musical instruments, technical drawing, and foreign languages and cultures. Through her Post-Doctoral research project in Organology and Museology, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology, she has analysed both organological and museological issues in more than a hundred collections of different types, in North America and Europe, including Turkey and Russia. She is fluent in Portuguese, English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Contributions

She has published works on diversified themes, namely historical, biographical, museological, organological. The "Guide to cataloguing and analytical description of musical instruments" and "Norms for the preservation of musical in , struments", where novel measuring and analytical techniques are shown [[34]], were written as supporting tools for her project of creating a Database of Musical Instruments held in Portuguese collections. She has participated, promoted, and organised a large number of cultural and scientific events, comprising exhibitions, seminars, lecture-recitals, and conferences, being also responsible for the first workshops on experimental archaeology [[35]]in musical instruments and the first Organological Congresses held in Portugal. She is the founder and currently the President of the National Association for Musical Instruments (ANIMUSIC) in Portugal.
