COMPEL Project

“COMPEL: Capturing Creative Output through the Inaugural Collection of Reproducible North American Experimental Electroacoustic Computer Music Artifacts in Preservational Crisis.” builds upon the existing pilot infrastructure of the 8-year-old preceding COMPEL project, and involves a growing network of stakeholder higher-ed institutions (and their libraries) committed to the cause. It will be built upon the existing Wikibase hosting a Dublin Core-based metadata, and will be linked to Wikimedia Commons whose purpose will be to capture all forms of digitized materials necessary for the reproduction of an electroacoustic music artifact.

If successful at capturing some of the most complex known forms of technology-mediated creative artifacts, it will also offer a foundation for a preservation of most, if not all other forms of technology-mediated creative artifacts of our time. COMPEL’s ensuing ethically sourced collection will also serve as a foundation to address a broad array of topics relevant to higher-ed institutions (e.g., arts metrics), and society (e.g., capture of the mainstream electroacoustic music and offering a platform for ethical integration of AI in ongoing preservation efforts).

Advisory Board for COMPEL Project

This advisory group, a sub-set of the Academic Metrics working group, has been established to advise the work “COMPEL: Capturing Creative Output through the Inaugural Collection of Reproducible North American Experimental Electroacoustic Computer Music Artifacts in Preservational Crisis.”
