Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this issue we investigate computional approaches through signal processing, encoding, machine learning and other techniques that deal with different aspects of Music and Musicology between East and West. The starting point of this investigation emerges from the Archeomusicological aspects of music notation, findings and theory, Byzantine Musicology, Cultural musicology, and Ethnomusiology. Under this prism, this special issue will explore the use of novel signal processing and (ethno)musicological tools for the systematic reearch, analysis, and transcription of non-western music civilizations, the analysis and automatic recognition of birdsongs and its relationship to cultural and biological aspects of music, as also the development of assistive tools for composers wishing to interact artistically with unfamiliar music and lost cultures. Last, we will examine the performative aspects of transcultural improvisation through mapping and AI algorithms, automatic music generation, and accompaniment systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
