MELD command-line tooling (meld-cli-tools) | |
|---|---|
| Development | 2019 |
| Institutions | University of Oxford |
| Project | FAST |
| Description | A simple development tool for testing and experimenting with MELD annotations in LDP containers. This tool does not use 'meld-clients-core', or any of the specialist implementations in 'meld-web-services'. It interacts with MELD data solely via LDP and Solid interfaces (and, in particular, works with Solid pod authentication). |

| Development | 2017-18 |
| Institutions | University of Oxford |
| Project | Digital Delius |
| Description | The British Library maintains an educational website, ‘Discovering Music', in which online visitors are guided to explore the digital resources of the library through explanatory context provided by bespoke authored articles. The ‘Delius in Performance' app is an MELD version of a Discovering Music article of the same title, authored by Joanna Bullivant, demonstrating the ways by which we can enhance the multimedia interactivity of music materials to better illustrate and explain the author's narrative. |

Delius String Quartet Masterclass (annotation and playback) | |
|---|---|
| Development | 2017-18 |
| Institutions | University of Oxford |
| Project | Digital Delius |
| Description | The Delius String Quartet annotation app was developed such that an annotator can use a tablet interface to record, in real time, performance adjustments made during a taught masterclass. These annotations were used as a structured interface into a video of the masterclass, which can be accessed interactively, via the annotations, in a second playback app. |

Climb! and the Climb! Performance Archive | |
|---|---|
| Development | 2016-17 |
| Institutions | University of Nottingham & University of Oxford |
| Project | FAST |
| Description | Climb! Is a non-linear composition written for Disklavier and electronics written by Maria Kallionpää. The pianist undertakes a metaphorical journey up a mountain, playing musical codes that are hidden within the score to control their path and trigger musical and visual effects, including the piano engaging them in an unusual physical duet. MELD forms a part of the software platform which mediates between the performer, composition, and instruments. |
