PRIMO is now live at http://primo.sas.ac.uk. We welcome new submissions and feedback on this pilot version of the repository.
This project creates an archive of musical performances, masterclasses, workshops, rehearsals, lecture-recitals and other sonic-based material that is either research-valid or of direct interest to researchers in the several areas of practice-based musical research. It will include examples of classical, pop, jazz, and world musics, and interactive computer-supported performance in digital audio and video format, affording an open-access, online multimedia repository of downloadable material for the purposes of research, study and teaching. It thus offers performers, composers and other researchers whose findings are best expressed through real-time and sonic events a new platform for the dissemination of their work, whilst scholars will find a wide range of practice-based outputs that have not heretofore been available to the research community.
