Eckhard Kahle, Ph.D., is an accomplished researcher in the field of physics and room acoustics who has made important contributions to the acoustic design of performance spaces throughout the world. In addition, his parallel career as a professional viola player has allowed him to perform with some of the world's outstanding musicians. As a result of his impressive experience and familiarity with design standards, TALASKE invited him to serve as our collaborator and European liaison for the Guthrie Theatre on the River, a project with an international design team lead by the renowned architect Jean Nouvel, whose main office is in Paris.
Born in Karlsruhe, Germany, Dr. Kahle's studies have encompassed advanced explorations in the art and science of acoustics. At Clare College he received a Master of Philosophy in physics for his work in modeling the microstructure of wood used by violin makers. Later he joined Pierre Boulez' institute for research in music and acoustics in Paris, where he worked on a model of the perception of acoustical quality in concert halls, opera houses, and recital halls. This model was validated in his doctoral thesis, based on a series of extensive objective acoustical measurements and subjective listening tests in several European music performance facilities. After working at Artec Consultants in New York for several years, he founded his own acoustics consulting firm in Brussels, Belgium in 2001. |
