How do we translate the art of music into data?
This lecture from MIT OpenCourseWare explores the fundamental ways music is represented through various scores. It provides a technical look at how musical notation serves as a framework for computational theory and analysis.
Presented by instructors Michael Scott and Asato Cuthbert as part of the Spring 2023 course 'Computational Music Theory and Analysis', the video examines the mechanics of music representation. By analyzing different types of musical scores, the lecture demonstrates how musical information is structured and encoded.
The session is part of MIT's broader mission to provide open access to course content, allowing students to study the intersection of music and computation through various instructional resources like lecture notes and editable files.
