#outnow: Polifonia’s first data story

From Beethoven to Metallica, from Pinkpop to the Big Sing, from the beginning of the 20th century through to last week.

16 November 2022

From Beethoven to Metallica, from Pinkpop to the Big Sing, from the beginning of the 20th century through to last week. The Dutch Broadcast Concert collection from consortium partner the Netherlands Institute of Sound & Vision contains a wide range of concerts broadcast by Dutch public service broadcasters on TV and radio. It provides a unique window on Dutch musical culture over the years. Read more about the collection in Polifonia’s first data story, which will grow and develop along with the collection itself, or explore the data in the Media Suite via this link. In the Polifonia project, we will enrich the collection by linking it to other musical treasure troves.

The data story is created with the use of MELODY, a dashboard to turn linked open data into data stories. MELODY is created by the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Centre of the University of Bologna and will be released later this year.
