Partner introduction: Digital Paths

Digital Paths is a digital agency that blends Communication, Technology and Design.

15 December 2021

  • What is the relation between your organisation/institution and music?  

Digital Paths is an agency that blends strategy, creativity and design. It develops 360-degrees programmes focusing on the clients’ needs. We believe that music is one of the numerous starting points for ideas. This comes out from our previous experiences in musical events: the background of the agency sees years and years inside the organisation of various music festivals and performances. As in a song, we are sure that every note is important to contribute to the melody. In this way, we want to help Polifonia make its community wider and wider. 

  • What do you bring to the Polifonia project?  

Based on our experience we want to bring the right connection between digital communication and performing arts. Not only, but as a part of the information and dissemination programme we are designing a communication plan and strategies on different channels like social media and website. Furthermore, Digital Paths has developed Polifonia’s brand identity gathering all the goals and components of the project. The agency helps Polifonia to create a strong network and to spread all the news that involve the project. 

  • What do you hope to get out of the Polifonia project?  

As a partner of the Polifonia project the agency would like to expand its knowledge in music, finding new ways to communicate it and engaging various types of users and listeners. Innovation is really important, especially in music. Making musical heritage a shared knowledge is one of our major goals, and we share it with Polifonia. We hope to achieve success for the project and for our agency, finding new possibilities and new technologies in order to exploit music as a communication field.

In 2024, Paul Mulholland, Naomi Barker and Paul Warren (The Open University, U.K) are continuing their experiment investigating how different kinds of music influence the appreciation of an artwork; and to what extent the same kind of sense-making processes are used when viewing artwork and when listening to music. To do this, the researchers are looking for more participants. They have now automated the process so that participants can complete the experiment online without the involvement of an experimenter.

During the last project meeting, the Polifonia consortium extensively discussed how to foster the impact of the project in academia and beyond. How to make the output of Polifonia sustainable after the lifetime of the project is one important aspect. But fostering re-usability does not end by long-term preservation of certain assets (such as data and tools). In Polifonia Research Ecosystem – Impact of a project. A webinar on Data re-use and workflows, we will discuss how we ensure that more fluid assets such as interfaces, but also experiences in setting up and executing workflows via those interfaces, become reproducible and reuseable.

Music libraries currently lack well-founded information retrieval tools. While it is relatively easy to find music based on metadata, content-based music retrieval still remains as a challenge. The Polifonia FACETS pilot aims to tackle this challenge by building a faceted search engine (FSE) for large collections of music documents.
