ABSTRACT
Documentation of creative processes in the context of music and technology is one of the most interdisciplinary topic of research at the crossroad of information science, empirical musicology, computer science, etc. In this talk and from this perspective, I will introduce a few projects—past and future. I will also relate it to digital curation and the still critical issues of sustainability of works using signal processing software: technological obsolescence, prescriptive notation, context-dependence, institutional implication.
