Presentation of EMSAN


Goals and Scope of EMSAN
 The Network aims at creating a body of musicological studies of the musical repertoire and musical practices within its areas of expertise : musical creation in the twentieth century, when the music has called for audio technology. This encompasses all the electroacooustic music in the conventional sense as well as computer music, audio art, electronic music, sound poetry, installations, etc.

The main goal is to conduct a vast project on electroacoustic music and music technology in East Asia, and is composed of 3 main areas.

Database

    • A comprehensive database, geared towards the inventory and documentation of the musical repertory of electroacoustic and computer music from East Asia in the twentieth century.

Knowledge base

    • Search among the materials kept in the repository will be conducted through a knowledge base (bibliographies, hyper-links, program notes, manuals, grey literature, reports….).

Repositories

    • Materials, documentation records and miscellaneous musical data and media will be identified, collected and retrieved, stored and preserved in repositories, in France or in the participating Asian countries.

Structure
 Within the partnership are gathered scholars from various fields : musicologists, ethnomusicologists, composers, technosciences experts, computer scientists. The project involves several doctoral students from Asia and from France. Because it s network, each country has its own team and team leader which is selected solely by the country team. The French team is headed by the director of an academic research unit, MINT-OMF (EA206, university Paris-Sorbonne).

The Network has its central node at the Sorbonne in Paris. It is instigated by the MINT (Musicologie, informatique et nouvelles technologies, M. Battier, director). 
 It is structured as a partnership network with partners and advisers in each country of the studies area as well as from other countries in which researchers are willing to collaborate.
 One of the goals is the creation and development of a comprehensive database. The database will be composed of information in all relevant languages and scripts: French, English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean, etc. The database will give access to comprehensive information on composers, pieces composed, technology used, musical instruments, terminology and other data which are relevant to musicological purposes. It will also include or point towards iconography, sound files, and full texts.

The scope of the endavour is wide because no such project exists so far. Historical and political questions have prevented any of the countries and regions from East Asia to undertake such a project. However, researchers from East Asia have shown interest in this project and several scholars are willing to take an active part in it.
The project will help preserve the memory of an important part of the world heritage at the onset of new forms of musical practice and performance.

Participating Asian partners

  • China
  • Hong Kong
  • Japan
  • Macau
  • Malaysia
  • Singapore
  • South Korea
