ABSTRACT
MIRELA is a virtual environment for researchers interested in exploring various aspects of traditional music. The environment has been designed by DARIAH-PL Music Information Retrieval Working Group with the objective to offer researchers extended support in storage and management of traditional music data collections, their processing, analysis and visualisation as well as publishing of the corresponding results. The paper describes a prototype content repository that has been set up with dLibra, a multimedia digital library software developed by Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC), adapted for musical content and the metadata schema provided by the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IAPAS). As a proof of concept, the repository was tested with a set of musical samples and related multimodal data from the IAPAS’ digitized phonographic archives of Polish traditional music. The paper also describes new content-based music processing modules: WebEsAC and SoundScribe. WebEsAC has been developed for processing melodies encoded in symbolic music representation defined by the EsAC format. SoundScribe implements the pYIN algorithm for extracting the predominant melody from a monophonic recording and converting it into MIDI and symbolic music notation.
