Abstract

We digitally archived festival music ("Ohayashi") in the Yamahoko parades of the Gion festival in Kyoto, Japan. The Gion festival is an important part of the cultural heritage in Japan. We should make an effort to preserve cultural heritage for posterity. Thus, we have tried digital archiving. To faithfully reproduce an acoustic sound field in the Yamahoko parade with floats, we recorded the festival music for a long time. This Gion festival music consists of Japanese traditional drums, flutes, and bells. In this situation, multi-channel recording is required. We reproduced the acoustic sound field for one of the Yamahoko parades with archived festival music. In addition, we attempt to reproduce the highly realistic acoustic sound field for the Gion festival by using polyhedron loudspeakers.
