Hi all, Please find details below of our Digital Musicology workshop, running again at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School. I'd be grateful if you could forward to colleagues who might find it of interest, particularly those in music departments and institutions. And thank you to those FAST team members contributing to the workshop! cheers, Kevin. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Digital Musicology workshop - Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School - 22-26 July 2019 (apologies for cross-postings) SUMMER SCHOOL WORKSHOP: INVITATION TO REGISTER Digital Musicology: Applied computational and informatics methods for enhancing musicology Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School, Keble College, 22-26 July 2019 <http://www.dhoxss.net/digital-musicology> Dates: 22-26 July Registration: <http://www.dhoxss.net/register> A wealth of music and music-related information is now available digitally, offering tantalizing possibilities for digital musicologies. These resources include large collections of audio and scores, bibliographic and biographic data, and performance ephemera – not to mention the ‘hidden’ existence of these in other digital content. With such large and wide ranging opportunities come new challenges in methods, principally in adapting technological solutions to assist musicologists in identifying, studying, and disseminating scholarly insights from amongst this ‘data deluge’. This workshop provides an introduction to computational and informatics methods that can be, and have been, successfully applied to musicology. Many of these techniques have their foundations in computer science, library and information science, mathematics and most recently Music Information Retrieval (MIR); sessions are delivered by expert practitioners from these fields and presented in the context of their collaborations with musicologists, and by musicologists relating their experiences of these multidisciplinary investigations. The workshop comprises a series of lectures and hands-on sessions, supplemented with reports from musicology research exemplars. Theoretical lectures are paired with practical sessions in which attendees are guided through their own exploration of the topics and tools covered. Laptops will be loaned to attendees with the appropriate specialised software installed and preconfigured. Participants also attend afternoon lectures and masterclasses with participants from other workshops, these sessions cover a broad range of digital humanities topics. There will also be optional evening events (some at additional cost), including a walking tour of Oxford, an evening drinks and poster session at the Weston Library and the TORCH lecture. Participants will be invited to submit posters for the welcome reception at the Weston Library. Please note that numbers for this workshop are limited, and we cannot guarantee that places will still be available towards the end of the registration period.
