Thank you very much for posting the link! I've started reading--it looks very interesting!

Do you know whether it's possible to download the field recordings? It would be great to be able to listen to those.

Cheers,

Michi.

Hi Michi!
unfortunately I don't know where to find those recordings. However, Giordani teaches at the drumschool whose web hosts the dissertation so you might ask him whether he is willing to share those. It's worth a try

cheers

Thanks for the tip, I'll drop Daniel a line and ask him.

Cheers,

Michi.

Daniel's recordings are archived at the Phonogrammarchiv Wien, which is part of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Austrian Academy of Sciences). They have an online catalog of all their materials. They make material available for academic and research purposes. (They require an explanation of what the material will be used for.)

Daniel's recordings stored there total 19 hours and 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the archive charges a fee of 0.20€ per minute, which makes it very expensive to get all of Daniel's recordings. However, Daniel kindly suggested a subset that works out to five and a half hours, which is a lot more affordable (65.00€) and includes the recordings he made in Baro. I'm about to order these.

Cheers,

Michi.
