Marjetka Golež Kaučič is a Vice-President of KfV from 2003 and member of the Executive board SIEF from 2004. The ballad tradition is now very well known to the members of that commmission. As a member of SIEF and main representative for so called Eastern and Central Europe. The direct result of this membership and my contributions was an organization of the Ballad panel titled »Is there an European tradition of the folk song heritage«, the panel has been the part of the SIEF congress in Derry (2008) as well as an article.

COBISS.SI-ID: 28376109Symposium adressed a number of conceptual and substantive issues regarding folklore as intangible folk culture, the broadest creativity in folk culture, tradioanl or modern communicational structure. Participants (80) also presented their views on documenting, archiving, and digitalizing folklore.

COBISS.SI-ID: 30474541Paper presents a method for automatic transcription of recordings of bell chiming performances. By analyzing the covariance matrix of the time-frequency representation of a recording, we estimate the number of bells and their approximate spectra using prior knowledge of church bell acoustics and bell chiming performance rules. A non-negative matrix factorization algorithm with selective sparsity constraints that learns the basis vectors that approximate the previously estimated bell spectra is proposed.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 7224404The paper presents the development of EthnoMuse: multimedia digital library of Slovenian folk music and dance culture. The main scope of the project concerns the digitization of production and post-production processes that relate to collecting, documenting and archiving of folk heritage and development of multimedia applications for various content types (folk song, music and dance) and formats (image, audio, video, notation, MIDI etc.). We also briefly describe the tools developed to support the workflow of researchers involved in collecting and archiving of folk music related contents.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 7092052The paper presents an algorithm for automatic transcription of recordings of bell-playing clocks. Bell-playing clocks are clocks containing a hidden bell-playing mechanism that is periodically activated to play a melody. Clocks from the eighteenth century give us unique insight into the musical taste of their owners, so we are interested in studying their repertoire and performances - thus the need for automatic transcription.
