Symposium description
One aim of the MIRAGE project is to conceive new technologies allowing to better access, understand and appreciate music, with a particular focus on Norwegian folk music. This seminar presents what has been achieved during the four years of the project, leading in particular to the digital version of the Norwegian Catalogue of Folk Music. We are also conceiving tools to automatically transcribe audio recordings of folk music. More advanced musicological applications are discussed as well. To conclude, we introduce the new spinoff project, called muScribe, aimed at the development of transcription services, for a broad range of music, besides folk music, in a first stage tailored to professional organisations such as archives, publishers and producers.
