The DCML explores music from the cognitive, computational, musicological and psychological perspectives.
It combines modern algorithmic methods, corpus research, music-theoretical expertise and experimental approaches to conduct research in four main areas: musical structure-building, musicological corpus research, the cognitive foundations of music and computational modeling.
The DCML also draws on a global network of experts in musicology, artificial intelligence and neuroscience to deepen researchers’ understanding of musical structures by employing cutting-edge technology.
