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?

😂 nice take 🤣
Starter pack listing live music venues, friendly bars, interesting museums.

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! 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 …

… 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 🎻

Have you added them in a proper notation file? If so, assuage your pain by exporting them and (very gradually) building a dataset!
comment in response to
post
Do you have any in/out converters working?
Am I right in thinking that Lilypond and Tex are the last holdouts for notation systems that credible but basically disconnected islands.

Oh ok! Author delay is a different story. Hope you're doing well now.
Btw, both Galeazzi and "music and/or computer science" were the focus of a thing we published in ISMIR 2020.
In case of interest, this link goes straight to paper, posters, and video.

Awesome 😎!
Congrats @rebeccakopriva.bsky.social !
Looking forward to reading this.
…But first I need to process the line after the abstract.
“Received October 2022”.
It’s been a while and I’d almost forgotten about publication schedules in the humanities.

I hear you. Sending empathy. Alcohol too. “Phew what a day, I’ve earned a stiff drink” is almost always counter productive … because then there’s the night …

Strange plotting choice.
Shouldn’t the other line plot “rest of world”?

So we have the teleportation 🛸scene at the back …
The reverse stand… possibly for the conductor who’s taking the “photo” 📸 … erm … mid performance …
And speaking of stands … an orchestra playing entirely from memory except that conductor and a couple of desks who didn’t get the memo

I think they are taking the “photo” 📸 … erm … mid-performance.

… with apologies for being “that guy” commenting off topic …
Depictions of flute playing often incorrectly show both hands on the same side of the instrument …
… here the instrument itself is on the wrong side.
Has the image been reversed or is it really designed like this? What’s the source?

Thanks Jon! Do you have a preferred citation for these online resources (this and the time line of musical notation?)

Fun thread!
Mine are:
🇬🇧 Queen Elizabeth II … ’s mother and husband (but not her)
🇩🇪 Gerhard Schröder
(Chancellor of Germany from 1998 to 2005) and wife (no.5 … he makes a joke about “olympics” because of the 5 rings)
… And many classical musicians.
No salacious gossip to report.

And then there was the time the bus driver saw someone in a suit and said “whoa! Getting married today?!”. Informal attire seemed more appropriate after that 😂
comment in response to

Makes sense. I kept a suit jacket in my (shared) office at Cornell ready for teaching until I realised it was next to a shirt that a colleague used for the same purpose.

Do you get progressively even more formally attired as the semester goes on until you end up conducting revision sessions in a top hat 🎩?

Relate! I once left the 6 month old too near to the coffee grounds. Turned around to find them in baby’s mouth, all over the clothes (white of course), and the floor.
Fortunately I had the presence of mind to take a photo before cleaning up. 😂

Thanks! An awesome study to be sure. I have more than 300 characters’ worth of thoughts 💭 on this 😉. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to chat.
