Many Voices

What about music and language is shared or distinct across cultures? Why?

We have several ongoing collaborations dedicated to understanding global relationships between music and language. The first major output from this work ("Many Voices 1") will be published soon in Science Advances. It features the 75 coauthors from 46 countries shown below singing and speaking in their own native/heritage languages. Follow up studies ("Many Voices 2" and beyond) are planned - please get in touch if you are interested in collaborating!

These projects have received funding from Aotearoa New Zealand's Royal Society Te Apārangi (Rutherford Discovery Fellowship and Marsden Fund) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
