the collection is now more interoperable for various use cases including as a distinct data set for research, and also for engaging within individual exercise exercises with VHV:
Fourscoreandmore 🔗: fourscoreandmore.org/species/
GitHub 🔗: github.com/MarkGotham/s...
One such corpus = one I made a while ago (c.2019) for pedagogical purposes, including as part of the Open Music Theory textbook (OMT).
(And the OMT chapters are still there: viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusicthe...
Multi-announce 📣
Open data talk: www.mdw.ac.at/veranstaltun...
+ a new publication 📄 🔗:
doi.org/10.5334/johd...
+ a new entry point to the newly expanded lieder corpus:
fourscoreandmore.org/openscore/li...
+ this prompted a re-org of
fourscoreandmore.org/score/ and more corpora.
Congrats 🎉

Great opportunity for talented colleagues to join interdisciplinary AI research at King's. 3 years of protected research time leading to an open-ended academic post. @kingsartshums.bsky.social @kingsdh.bsky.social @kings-dfi.bsky.social Join us!
Awesome! Bet you aced it all too. Here’s to many more such days. Find memories of those Gatwick sleeping of pods. Or maybe you get something fancier 😂
📣 new paper 📣
Parallel or variant?

As an Englishman teaching in Germany I was amazed at just how different the German– and English– speaking music theory lexicons (still) are in our ostensibly globalised age.

Thanks all!
Bravo on the important paper @tuomaseerola.bsky.social and team!
@michelle-phillips.bsky.social , hello from a TISMIR rep (current EB, incoming EiC) in listening mode! Let’s share notes sometime!
Some shared issues, some differences. Lots of open code/data at least.
And singing along is frowned upon for some reason! Even in the good bits!
Sounds cool!
If composed out echo effects are in scope I have a couple of attack-sustain examples in my orchestration chapters for Open Music Theory.
Britten, Sibelius, Debussy if I remember right. If that’s of interest I’ll dig up the URL for you.
In addition, key to transparency is effective attribution and that’s vv difficult to achieve.
Eg a mash up = many samples = countless contributors, poorly documented in metadata.
We’ve seen cases before where well-intentioned policy ends up adversely affecting only the well-intentioned.
Doubly good of you to come to my department seminar in that case! Thanks!
… do I owe you some email triage now?
🚨 Unimportant Terminology Question no.265326 🚨
Membership on here is soaring!
Great time to shore up the terminology. (Or not!)
If on bird 🐦 themed platforms posts were called “tweets” 🐥, does what are they here 🦋?
… “bolts ⚡️from the blue”?
Wholesome and laudable! Keep it up!
😂 nice take 🤣
Starter pack listing live music venues, friendly bars, interesting museums.
Oh wait … that’s a travel guide
Thanks for the encouragement!
I’ve had one in the “book inbox“ waiting patiently behind too many others for too long.
It’s time!
And maybe time too for a KCL book club (only fiction allowed)
+1. I was intrigued to hear how the dynamic between @ednewtonrex.bsky.social as keynote and certain companies in the room would play out. Didn’t disappoint.
Thanks for putting this together @nikicheong.bsky.social
Welcome 🤘🎸
Thanks! So shall we keep the league tables but insist on plotting them with error bars? Or is that just an undifferentiated smudge of overlaps?
Welcome!
I think the first record I ever owned was one of yours!
Now to think 💭 of any conductor jokes that’s suitable for writing down in public …

The Computational Humanities Research Group at KCL continues research seminars this term. You can find events here: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/serie... - however, one that's not yet on the calendar is a talk by @heuser.bsky.social - click below to register. #digitalhumanities #intellectualhistory
… Flaubert would probably not think much of east anglia … not a lot of hills here either and certainly not a lot to boast about in the Neufchâtel cheese department 🧀
Also doubly on-brand for you as a cellist … going “higher up” the fingerboard …
😂.
Also comes with a “how’s your PhD going” vibe?
Found any ancient cities complete with incongruous manuscripts yet?
Ah shame, I was with you right up to the Bach comment and then you lost me.
Some days 349 voices are just not enough!
SANCTUS!!!
Do it! There’s some app dev and published literature on at least piano 🎹 and violin 🎻
