Professor Angela Bellia recently attended the research week at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna to participate in the meeting “Historical Musicology Facing Innovation,” held within the framework of the COST Action EarlyMuse (CA21161).
The meeting brought together researchers from across Europe to address the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on historical musicology. Led by Philippe Vendrix (Chair) and Rebekah Ahrendt (Vice Chair), EarlyMuse is an international network of excellence dedicated to redefining the musicological ecosystem. During the sessions, Professor Bellia engaged in critical discussions on how AI is evolving from a mere analytical tool into an active partner in interpreting and disseminating musical knowledge.
This event provided a significant opportunity to explore synergies with the VOICING project (“Voicing Spaces: Towards an Aural Architecture in the Past”), funded by the Italian Science Fund (FIS-MUR). Professor Bellia’s participation focused on how these technological innovations can further the project’s goal of placing sonic experience and listening at the heart of technological progress.
Professor Bellia extends her sincere gratitude to Philippe Vendrix for the invitation and to the local team for the excellent organisation of this milestone event.
