# Computational Ethnomusicology: Methodologies for a New Field

<img src="https://0110.be/files/attachments/451/poster.jpg" width="150" alt="Comp ethno workshop" style="float:right;margin:10px"/> From 27 to 31 March 2017 I have attended a workshop on [Computational Ethnomusicology: Methodologies for a New Field](https://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2017/866//info.php3?wsid=866&venue=Oort) at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. The workshop format was aimed at creating time for interdisciplinary discussion.

It was attended by a mix of (Ethno)musicologists, archivists, computer scientists and people identifying themselves as more than one of these categories by varying degrees. This mix ensured a healthy discussion and talks by Frans Wiering, Willard McCarthy, Emilia Gomez, and "may more":\[program.pdf\] provided ample source material to discuss. These discussions ranged from the abstracts around schemata down to concrete of software tools for archive management.

On a more personal side the workshop did provide useful insights to contextualize my research and help form ideas that can be condensed in my PhD dissertation.
