Description |
Polifonia, a new 3M€ project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Programme will run for
the next 40 months to recreate the connections between music, people, places and events
from the sixteenth century to the modern-day. These findings will be available to
everyone as an interconnected global database on the web and will enhance our understanding
of European musical heritage.
With the help of Artificial Intelligence, Polifonia will analyse sounds, texts and
musical scores to recreate the history of European musical heritage through people,
events, languages, and places.
Polifonia will help scholars in studying how music changed and reacted to the social
and political environment over the past six centuries, providing a vast resource to
uncover these phenomena, systematically: a knowledge graph - a network of interconnected
data from all the main musical heritage sources with one single point of access. The
Polifonia consortium is an interdisciplinary team of passionate researchers and music
lovers: computer scientists, anthropologists and ethnomusicologists, historians of
music, linguists, musical heritage archivists, cataloguers and administrators, and
creative professionals. |
