Fascinating #folklore project: a #map of #folk tunes gathered by Oskar Kolberg, great ethnographer of 19th century, to listen and download. Mostly territories of Commonwealth of Both Nations (that is, today's #Poland, #Lithuania, #Belarus and #Ukraine), but also #Lusatia, #Slovakia, #Slovenia, #Croatia, #BosniaHerzegovina and #Serbia. Sadly, not linked to lyrics, music only, but still a delightful journey.

As Kolberg worked in 19th century, his works obviously do not contain recordings, but the map gives #MIDI, #MusicXML and #EsAC.

The Spatial Index of Tunes in Oskar Kolberg’s Collection

Researchers from UCL's Centre for Outer Space Studies (COSS) have been working on the EthnoISS project, which looks at social and psychological aspects of sharing that unique place amongst a a variety of nationalities and cultures.

Lessons learned and similar themes are explored in their new open access book: Exploring #Ethnography of Outer Space: Methods and Perspectives.
