In the computer age of “big data” issues of data storage, management, and use present challenges for research institutes around the world. The symposium will address these pressing issues, focusing on the approaches being developed for the purpose of music research in the East Asian Region. It will explore new possibilities for collaborative research projects and data sharing, particularly for research into musical modernity, a research theme that has been hindered by the colonial legacies in the region, but which is essential to our understanding of contemporary music culture, and the relative positioning of traditional and western music in these societies.
