Introduction

The Digital Music Lab project held the first workshop on analysing big music data.  The workshop was aimed to explore some dataset-specific aspects of the project as well as more general opportunities and challenges which are involved with big music data research. It included presentations by the project’s official advisors, Prof. Frans Wiering (Utrecht University), Dr. Renee Timmers (University of Sheffield), and Prof. Tim Crawford (Goldsmiths, University of London), and several other invited speakers. The workshop also included an interactive part in which participants were given the opportunity to formulate and refine research questions relating to specific datasets which were be presented and characterised.

Call for Participation

The workshop was open to researchers at all levels in the fields of musicology (particularly, but not exclusively, those with some interest in computational and systematic musicology), music information retrieval, performance studies, data science (with interest in music), and other related fields.
