Kinds of music networks
- Affiliation networks
- musicians/groups (musician to group)
- fan clubs (fan to club)
- Facebook pages (person to page)
- musical preference (person to style)
- concert attendance (person to event)
- scholars to research areas (topical, theoretical, disciplinary, or geocultural)
- Statistical implication networks
- taste implication networks (people who like this music also like this...)
- Purchase networks (people who bought this also bought this...)
- friendship networks
- arbitrary FN loaded with music attributes (taste, performance, consumption, breadth)
- musician friendship network
- Legal networks
- Relationships established by IP ownership
- Relation of artists to music corporations
- Relation of music corporations to one another
- Musical collaboration networks
- performer collaboration networks
- composer/lyricist networks
- Flow networks (diachronic)
- the diffusion of musical awareness/preference/popularity (how does popularity spread?)
- the flow of music media: production/distribution/consumption/critical feedback networks
- genealogical networks
- transmission - direct teaching and learning networks (formal or informal)
- musical influence
- folktune variations
- musical style and genre development
- performance interaction
- musician interactions
- performer/audience interactions
- Music theory and composition networks
- modal, chordal, or pitch networks describing possible musical sequences, as devised by music theorists
- composition networks (e.g. Lewin and Markov chains), devised by composers, and defining possible musical sequences for human or computer performers (a form of algorithmic composition)
- networks for free improvisation (e.g. "Electrical Networks")
- Similarity networks, among
- musicians
- songs/pieces
- styles
- musical prestige and authority
- admiration networks (subjective ratings)
- influence networks (subjective or objective ratings)
- Musical taste networks
- musician preference: celebrity topologies
- aesthetic preference networks (digraph: pairwise judgments on music objects, e.g. "I like A more than B" as "A->B")
- egonets and music attributes (performance, consumption, taste, breadth)
- Intertext and hypertext networks
- citation and co-author networks among music scholars
- linkages among webpages
- discursive links via musical terminology
- Intermusicality networks
- musical quotation
- stylistic allusions
- meta-ethnomusicology
- Two-mode network of ethnomusicologists and research topics
- Citation networks and influence
- web-based networks
- webpage word co-occurrence (e.g. musical genres)
- Facebook networks (centered on musicians; or musical friendship links; or embedded music information)
- Twitter networks (centered on musicians)
Special music network types
Give examples of each of the following as applied to music culture:
- directed vs undirected networks
- one mode vs two mode networks
- complete vs subnetworks
- networks vs. egonets
- Small world networks (large networks with surprisingly small diameters)
- time-evolving networks
- Geographical networks (network formation favors local links )
- Scale-free networks (network formation favors global hubs)
Network analysis
Two types:
- Descriptive and exploratory
- Relational:
- what is the relation between network properties of nodes, and attribute properties of nodes, in a single network, then seeking explanations for these relations.
- Comparative: relating variables across two or more networks and seeking explanations (e.g. why is this network more densely connected than that one?)
Sources of online network data
- Web-based social networks
- Twitter. Entities: users. Relation: following (unidirectional). Information flow: tweets, retweets.
- Facebook. Entities: users. Relation: friendship (bidirectional); like (unidirectional); groups and events (affiliation) . Information flow: status.
- http://myspace.com (artist ego-nets...)
- iTunes Ping
- Social networks especially for musicians
- Musical collaborations, genres, influences
- Small world nets
- Music sales, purchase recommendations, popularity
- Internet content
- Bing (for word co-occurrence matrices - note that Bing provides the near:N search modifier; placed between two phrases it requires that they be separated by no more than N words)
- link: keywords (to tell Google to find pages that link to an artist page, thus establishing its ego net)
- http://correlate.googlelabs.com/ to correlate data series with search terms related to music
- Internet searching
- http://www.google.com/insights/search/# (enables matrix of search vs. locale)
Possible project ideas
- Connecting class members via real or online networks (e.g. shared FB friends)
- Daily changes in the Twitter egonetwork for music celebrities, correlated to album releases
- Studies of ethnomusicologists as they collaborate in groups, or affiliate to topics
- Musical taste implications for social networks
- Observation of conversational interactions
- Plot networks in films about musicians
- Ego-alter networks
- Friendship networks
- Musical affiliations
- Flow: how you learn about music from friends...
- Literary connections through song lyrics
- Composer-lyricist networks
- Social fragmentations induced by media fragmentations
- Which music networks are scale free?
- Diameters of music collaboration networks
