Students learn about methods of recording analysis, gain insight into existing projects using digital methods and learn to use software with which to analyse recordings digitally. Analysis techniques are applied to own research.

In this course theoretical and practical aspects of musical recording analysis are discussed. Within the theoretical framework questions are tackled about when and to what extent recording analysis is useful in musicological research, and what kind of knowledge can be gained by it. A number of cases of digital tool-assisted recording studies are examined, and their uses and contributions to various subfields of musicology (e.g. performance studies, popular music studies, ethnomusicology) are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the various methods of analysis and visualisation that digital tools afford.
The practical aspect of the course is devoted to learning to work with the Sonic Visualiser software—a tool developed by and for musicologists for the purposes of analysing and visualising digital recordings. Students will work through a tutorial during class, and develop their own research question based around SV and a (set of) musical recording(s) of their choice. The results of this research will be presented in class with the help of a poster.
This course is for students in the RMA Musicology. The entrance requirements for Exchange Students will be checked by International Office and the Programme coordinator. You do not have to contact the Programme coordinator by yourself.
