The first few weeks of this course have been an introduction for me into some of the terms and current topics of the subject of music informatics.
the first website for review is:
- music library association- What catches my eye here is the reasonable searching for rights holders. Also comparisons of different bibliographic control systems as they apply to music (a hot topic as it turns out).
- rilm- The International Society for Music Information Retrieval. This deals with the interpretation and classicfication of genre (which I find very interesting). Being non musical (sadly) that is one area that I can at least understand if not personally relate to.
Music visualization is also discussed and I read some conference notes, including one that had Thomas Dolby as one of the speakers with something called data sonification that he has been working on. I would like to understand it more...
- ismir- this is the International Society for Music Information Retrieval. There is nothing on this website that tells me clearly who they are, what they want, and what they do. Did not like it.
The textbook was difficult for me this week. It is just rather dry and I'm trying to follow it, and most of it seems like common sense, but I don't feel that I really have it yet.
