Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fma2019 |
The 9th International Workshop on Folk Music Analysis will be held from 2nd to 4th July 2019 at Birmingham City University, UK. This International Workshop brings together researchers from the fields of ethnomusicology, musicology and music information retrieval (MIR). It provides a forum that encourages sharing of ideas, needs, research methods and discoveries, among ethnomusicologists, musicians, librarians, students, museum curators, computer science experts and music information retrieval researchers. The aim is to foster cross-disciplinary collaborative networks and the development of new interdisciplinary tools and techniques that promote an enriched understanding of traditional musics and the preservation / dissemination of world musical cultural heritage. FMA2019 will be jointly organized with the AAWM Special Topics Symposia 2019: Computational Approaches to World Music Analysis.
