Video: an introduction to MUSICBO pilot

On Polifonia’s YouTube channel, we publish a series of videos about the pilots and work packages. This week’s upload: MUSICBO

In 2006 Bologna was declared by Unesco “City of Music”. Despite this, the extraordinary musical heritage of this city is kept in cultural institutions and archives, studied by a few specialized scholars only and unknown to the many. The MUSICBO pilot aims to provide tools and methods through which Bologna heritage can be known and enjoyed by the wide public. In our latest video, pilot leader Eleonora Marzi addresses how the alignment between vocabularies across different languages and computational music analysis are complemented with a specially designed algorithm and how a knowledge graph will enable users to establish connections between Bolognese music and European music.
