If you’re curious about the methods behind the #RomaniChords project, the full recording of my talk from the Ninth Biennial International Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Musics (#AAWM 2026) is now available. The presentation discusses my methodological approach, from data acquisition and (finger-)motion capture to annotation and (audio)visualisation, and is followed by an engaging Q&A => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkAnmf695gA #Ethnomusicology #Musicology #MusicOfRoma #RomaniMusic #Roma

Replying to

@cassana@the-crossroads-inn.com Thanks for diving into my work so deeply and asking great questions! Theoretically, the MIDI pickup only converts the measurable tension (for each string) into a MIDI event, so if there's no tension (i.e. no note being played), it should not produce anything. But in practice, it often misfires on something (most typically an overtone). So there's a need to do a lot of semi-automatic (and indeed manual) data cleaning after each session :-)
