Voice and Singing in
Popular Music in the U.S.A. (1900–1960)

Concept: Tilo Hähnel, Martin Pfleiderer, Felix Schönfeld
Implementation: Felix Schönfeld

Vocalmetrics 1.1 builds on the concept and functions of Vocalmetrics 1.0, but adds new options, such as rating audio samples and visualizing relations between the respective samples based on their rating and meta-data. Vocalmetrics 1.1 furthermore allows users to create new rating and visualization project with their own set of dimensions; it is available for download for free.

Vocalmetrics 1.1 has been devised and implemented by the staff of the DFG-funded research project Voice and Singing in Popular Music in the US (1900-1960) in cooperation with Felix Schönfeld.
