The Project
The project “Digital Applications for the Promotion of the Music Culture of the North Aegean using cutting-edge technologies” aims at the preservation and promotion of the Music Cultural Heritage of the North Aegean islands from the 19th to the 20th century.
In particular, the following were implemented for this purpose:
- A web portal,which enables the user to see, search, listen and read all that concerns the musical tradition and history of the North Aegean.
- An augmented reality application on mobile devices. As they visit specific points of interest in the North Aegean, users can project with augmented reality techniques on their screen e.g. a musician playing a specific local version of a tune or an orchestra playing music at a wedding. They also have the possibility to see on a map the point of interest related to the musical tradition of the North Aegean, per city or per island. Thus, they are given suggestions of routes related to music, as well as relevant information about each point and the era with which it is associated.
- Digital interactive educational applications, so that students can get to know and come into contact with the musical tradition and history of the North Aegean in an interactive and enjoyable way.
- Video of traditional music performances where a selected repertoire of traditional music pieces of the North Aegean was recorded for teaching and educational purposes.
