Short description:
COGITCH (COgnition Guided Interoperability beTween Collections of musical Heritage) is a project on both traditional and early 20th century popular music, present in the audioarchives of the Meertens Institute and the Institute for Sound & Vision. The project investigates the cognitive notion of ‘hook’ (the most salient and easy-to-recall moment of a musical phrase or song). Hooks will be determined by consulting the lay audience (‘crowd sourcing’).
