MusicDNA Sustainable Eco system (MuSEc) – 2020-2024

Research and innovation, grant from Norwegian Research Council

The main objective is to provide tools for accurate, energy-efficient, interoperable usage monitoring, to establish an ecosystem for fair,
transparent remuneration of rights holders in the music industry, by:

a) Provision of a scheme for new, internationally recognized ID for works and recordings, improved registration process applying audio
fingerprints and build-up of a new database for rights holders.

b) Development of advanced, consequently energy-efficient audio fingerprinting algorithms and their extension with source separation
technologies, and an advanced retrospective stream analysis for recognition and documentation of past airplays and localization /
tagging of unknown content

Crowdfunding in the Culture Sector: Adoption, Effects and Implications (CROWDCUL) - 2020-2024

Research project, grant from Norwegian Research Council

The main goal of the research project is to explore the role of crowdfunding as
a channel for financing cultural productions.
The following research objectives will be addressed. First, we aim to analyze
the determinants of crowdfunding adoption by artists, i.e. what motivates and
prevents artists from using crowdfunding for financing their projects. Second,
we will investigate short- and long-term effects of crowdfunding on artists'
economy, reputation and aesthetic practices. Finally, we will address the
implications of crowdfunding at a sector level focusing on both traditional
funding mechanisms and artists' aesthetic practices in general.

Partners: Western Norway University of Applied Sciences; University of Agder; University of South-Eastern Norway; NORCE Norwegian Research Centre; Universittat de Barcelona
