DEKKMMA
• Digitization of the sound archive:- Audio: 50.000 sound recordings – 3.000 hours of
music - 33.000 items digitized.- Meta-data : 35.000 items digitized- Provide contextual data
• Development of database and website
• Exploration of MIR-techniques.

Deliver detailed descriptions of music from another culture- Different from Western musical idiom- (till now) Western concepts were used
- Correct descriptions are needed for:- Online collections- Research- Respect cultural heritage
Actual problem

Objective measurement:
- Not using Western musicological assumptions
- Approach actual characteristics

Music Information Retrieval
Nowadays:
- audio is a digital object
- huge online collections
- personal consumption
=> Music discovery!
![Page 10: Theoretic and artistic research studying opportunities of symbiosis of Western and non-Western musical idiom Olmo Cornelis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051416/56649e3c5503460f94b2eb4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Music Information Retrieval
- MIR: describes content of music
- Many applications
- Search/retrieve/organize
- Three levels- Signal => physical- Symbolic => musical symbols- Semantic => metadata

Music Information Retrieval
Many applications:
- Identification, plagiarism detection, copyright monitoring, version detection, melody finder, alignment, recommendation, sounds like, genre detection, segmentation, instrumentation, organization by metadata, mood, artist…
![Page 13: Theoretic and artistic research studying opportunities of symbiosis of Western and non-Western musical idiom Olmo Cornelis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051416/56649e3c5503460f94b2eb4f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
– domain specific techniques is required to approach the particular characteristics and constraints of different ethnic music styles.
– Need for an interdisciplinary research field.– Automated approaches are needed because of large
archives.

MethodEthnic music?
Three categories:– Ethnic music (in strict sense)
From cultures without written tradition
– Non-Western classical music– Religious and court music from cultures with a written – tradition outside Europe
– Folk music– From written culture, but not part of a classical
tradition
![Page 15: Theoretic and artistic research studying opportunities of symbiosis of Western and non-Western musical idiom Olmo Cornelis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051416/56649e3c5503460f94b2eb4f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Specifities
– large variability of music, users, search intentions and expectations.
– Metadata, content-based description, musical concepts are fundamentally different from Western standards.

Rethinking of the MIR research practice:– Need for opening up the culturally biased MIR tools
to all types of music.– More close collaboration between engineers and
(ethno)musicologists is required.– Reduction to familiar Western musical parameters
(e.g. score notation) can be useful for providing high-level access to collections, but may loose much of the rich and lively texture of this music.
– Often no ground truth.
![Page 34: Theoretic and artistic research studying opportunities of symbiosis of Western and non-Western musical idiom Olmo Cornelis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051416/56649e3c5503460f94b2eb4f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Audio might not be sufficient to describe and/or retrieve ethnic music:
-> The idea of separating sound from the rest of its physical environment (movement, smell, taste, colour) may well be a weird “invention” of the West.
=> We cannot understand ethnic music correct without its social function and context!
