How do we encode the complex structure of music into data?
In this lecture from MIT's Computational Music Theory and Analysis course, instructor Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert explores the technical frameworks required for efficient music encoding.
The session delves into the fundamental logic of music representation, examining how we categorize and structure musical information. It covers essential concepts such as ontology, taxonomy, and meronomy to understand the relationships between musical parts.
The lecture also addresses the first problem set of the Spring 2023 term, focusing on the challenges of creating efficient encoding systems for musical data.
