CompMusic Objectives
• Promote multicultural approaches in Music Information Technology.
• Work on information models for culture specific contexts. Characterize differences.
• Use as many types of information sources as possible (audio features, symbolic scores, text commentaries, user evaluations, …)
• Use culture specific perspectives. Involve researchers immersed in the music cultures to be studied.
Musical repertoires • Hindustani (North India), Carnatic (South India),
Turkish-makam (Turkey), Andalusi (North Africa), Han (China).
• Classical traditions with alive performance practices and strong social and cultural relevance.
• A lot of “good” data available.
Possibility to challenge current western centred information paradigms.
