Digital Preservation of Haitian Mythology Music Notation

Abstract

This project aims at preserving Haitian mythology music; it is conceptualized as having two components: • Digital Preservation Archive: The process generates equivalent notation of hardcopies as well as supplementary audio clip. The resulting artifacts are archived in a website. • Music Production Using Media Technologies: is an effort to stimulate interest in the music. Digital media technologies are applied toward arranging mythology songs for small Afro Western styled musical group. We design a workflow for notating, recording, and staging the music.
