Project title: Ethnomusicology and sound archives: visualising multi-part singing in Sardinia.

The research project aims to explore the potential of digital humanities to analyse the repertoires of four-part singing in the oral tradition of Sardinia (canto a tenore, canto a cuncordu). The main objective is to develop new systems for the visual representation of the musical structures of these practices, starting from the sound documents preserved in two important regional archives: the LABIMUS (Interdisciplinary Laboratory on Music) archive of the University of Cagliari and the sound and audiovisual archive of the ISRE (Sardinian Regional Ethnographic Institute). The analysis will be preceded by a bibliographical survey of the subject, a census of the main archives of ethnomusicological interest that provide forms of visualisation of sound data, and will be supplemented by ethnographic work aimed at collecting further sound documents.
