The rapid progress in digital technology, networks, computational methods and computing power has had a large impact on society as well as academia.
As a new field on the rise, digital musicology is still in early stages of exploring the potential of digital technologies and methods.
Questions concerning how these may be employed for addressing (and adapting) core musicological questions have been the focus of recent interdisciplinary debates.
In this talk, I will illustrate ways of bringing together questions from musicology and music analysis with formal and computational methods and discuss opportunities and current challenges.
