Olá.

*Call for Papers*

*Symposium for Digital Musicology*

1st September 2017

Senate House W1CE 7HU London UK

*Symposium for Digital Musicology* is a one day event that aims to bring
together scholars from various musicological fields and computer scientists
in order to *generate a discussion* about digital musicology – an
interdisciplinary field in which *new technologies are applied* to
musicological research. Digital techniques have been used more often within
humanities in fields outside of musicology, for example in palaeography,
history, art history, and many others. The field of digital musicology
remains an active field with research done by computer scientists and
programmers who have built a broad range of tools that could be used by
musicologists and ethnomusicologists, but these tools do not usually meet
their potential on this side of the research spectrum. These *digital
tools* could
both be timesaving and provide*opportunities* to new methodologies (e.g.
big data, timbral analysis, automated transcription, etc.).

One aim of this symposium is to find out why there seems to be a reluctance
for musicologists to ‘*go digital*.’ Moreover, the symposium aims to
explore what opportunities there are for musicologists when it comes to new
digital technologies, and in which ways these can support *innovative ways
of research*, and how musicologists are already employing these methods. It
aims to open the discussion between computer science and musicology to
stimulate *collaboration* that might trigger new *methodological
approaches* within
existing musicological fields.

There is benefit for both sides in an increased communication in the
different approaches: computer scientists developing digital musicological
techniques can gain a *new perspective* on how these tools can be used;
musicologists and ethnomusicologists can learn new ways of improving their
research.

The day will consist of presentations culminating with a keynote speech by *Dr
Emmanouil Benetos*(*Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of
London*). We invite scholars to propose 20-minute presentations (followed
by a 10-minute discussion) from all fields involved such as computer
science, music computing, music information retrieval, music encoding,
historical musicology, popular music studies, ethnomusicology, systematic
musicology, music analysis, music theory, and so on. Topics may include but
are not limited to:

0      Software and digital tools for musicologists

0      Music information retrieval

0      Timbral analysis

0      Big data projects

0      Automated analysis of music

0      Machine learning and music

0      Challenges and opportunities of digital musicology

0      Arguments for and against digital analysis

Please e-mail your proposals (250 words) with a short biography (150 words)
