RESEARCH TRAINING ROADSHOW: STUDYING MUSIC THROUGH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL RESEARCH, SCHOOL OF ADVANCED STUDY
11 AND 12 MAY 2009 - 10.30 - 18.00
MONDAY 11 MAY
Research Training Roadshow Studying Music through Science and Technology (Senate House, Room NG16), 10.30 am – 6 pm
In association with Lancaster University, Queen Mary University of London, and Goldsmiths College
Speakers: Alan Marsden (Lancaster), Ian Knopke (Computing, Goldsmiths), and Dan Tidhar (Electrical Engineering, QMUL)

TUESDAY 12 MAY
Research Training Roadshow Studying Music through Science and Technology (Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, Lecture Theatre/Recital Room, Lancaster University)*, 10.30 am – 6 pm
In association with Lancaster University, Queen Mary University of London, and Goldsmiths College
Speakers: Alan Marsden (Lancaster), Ian Knopke (Computing, Goldsmiths), and Dan Tidhar (Electrical Engineering, QMUL)
Free of charge. Advance registration required. To register, email music@sas.ac.uk.
*NB room change: this seminar will take place in Meeting Room 2 of the Institute of Advanced Studies, Lancaster University
ABSTRACT
Modern culture, in music research as in other fields, tends to divide science from art despite a strong strand of scientific music research dating back to the time of Pythagoras. This division is increasingly untenable in the light of the recent growth in 'Empirical Musicology' and developments in new technology. We aim in this study day to show how bridging this divide and applying scientific method and computing technology can help to address typical problems in musicology in general, and analysis in particular. Sessions will include material on Schenker and Palestrina; another focus will be applications of the software arising from the large-scale OMRAS 2 project of Goldsmiths' and Queen Mary Universities of London. Jargon and arcane technicalities will be avoided.
