Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

📯We're looking for a new colleague in #musicology in Würzburg (tenured full professorship, W3)! While the call is in German only, international candidates are highly encouraged to apply. Do not hesitate to reach out! 📆 **October 15, 2025**. See: www.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/04...

This semester, students in my course on Digital Representations of Music and Notation Software had the opportunity to visit our university's Retro Computing Lab, led by Torsten Roeder. It was great fun trying to notate some music on still working C64s. 🎹🤖 #musicscience

📣 I'm excited to announce that Johannes Menke's and my project "Musico Pratico - Pietro Pontio's Dialogues in Translation, Digital Evaluation and Critical Reception" will be funded for 3 years by SNSF and DFG within the Weave program. www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/ei...

Chimps’ rhythmic drumming could shed light on music’s evolutionary roots

This week, I was so happy about our first in-person team meeting at @uni-wuerzburg.de's Zentrum für Philologie und Digitalität that I grew a shadow antenna out of my head! Always looking out for new connections apparently ;-)

Proud to share the latest work from our group! We liberate musicological data from their printed form and provide a novel machine-readable resource for computational analysis! #digitalhumanities #musicscience www.linkedin.com/posts/timeip...

Today I had the great pleasure to welcome our new postdoc Mauro Orsini Windholz to our team at @uni-wuerzburg.de ! We will continue working on the computational analysis of Brazilian choro. 🇧🇷🎼

Are you interested in cultural transmission, medieval manuscripts or digital humanities, and want to pursue a PhD in a city bustling with intellectual and cultural life ? Come work with us !

Ok, we just tabularised the @spiegel.de literary canon 1924–2024 & enriched it with #Wikidata, #Goodreads, GND IDs for authors and works. Feel free to toy around with it. More to follow soonish… GitHub repo: github.com/temporal-com... @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social #EXC2020 "Temporal Communities"

So I'm finishing up my poster for #CHR2024 next week and want to replace the bird (never used the X) with the butterfly in #LaTeX #beamer using the fontawesome5 package or similar. Any suggestions?

This is an important new resource for people interested in the science of music. It combines academic rigor and a wide disciplinary scope while still somehow managing to make it accessible for students and non-specialists. I couldn't recommend it more! #musicscience

🌟 Excited to host an #EarlyMuse STSM at the Institut für Musikforschung, University of Würzburg! Join us to explore digital editions, analysis, and archives of medieval monophony. Hands-on collaboration awaits! Details & application: bit.ly/3Z2RgNk #MedievalMusic #DigitalMusicology #EarlyMusic

I wish a post like that would have been around a couple of years ago. Fantastic opportunity folks!

With her talk on "Musical Difference: Computational and Postcolonial Perspectives", Emily Hansell Clark provides the second contribution to our CODAMUS series. Check it out here: codamus.pubpub.org/pub/2023-cla... or watch the video on YouTube: youtu.be/AOZVyqBvDFQ

We introduce Fourier Qualia Wavescapes, a new analytical method for set class ambiguity based on the DFT #mcm24 #musicscience #musictheory link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

It was a great pleasure yesterday to talk about #AI, the #digitalhumanities, and #musicology @ACDH_OeAW in beautiful Vienna. Incidentally, this is maybe the most simplistic slide I ever produced 😅

How did composers' use of intervals change over time? In our new study in @HSScomms we employ a #Bayesian model of tonal space to study major trajectories in classical #music. @Uni_WUE @durham_uni @epfldh www.nature.com/articles/s41... #musicscience #musictheory #culturalevolution

I'm very excited! Thanks to generous seed funding by @bayfor.bsky.social I'll be leaving for Rio de Janeiro tomorrow for my project "Digital Choro: Exploring the potential of digitization & computational models for #Brazil's musical #culturalheritage"
