Research Interests

I am Associate Professor (Research Only) in the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and Director of PARADISEC, the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures. My core research interest is in singing and song. I have undertaken field research in Central and Northern Australia, Italy and the Philippines, and have frequently worked with linguists to produce well-documented published recordings of song, in collaboration with indigenous communities. I am particularly interested in song language, musical analysis of non-Western song traditions, and the implications of emerging digital and networking technologies for establishing community access points to research results. I am involved with several song documentation projects in North Australia, including the ARC-funded Murriny Patha Song Project (http://azoulay.arts.usyd.edu.au/mpsong/). Recent publications include: Barwick, Linda, and Nicholas Thieberger, eds. Sustainable Data from Digital Fieldwork. Proceedings of the Conference Held at the University of Sydney, 4-6 December 2006. Sydney: Sydney University Press, 2006 http://purl.library.usyd.edu.au/sup/1920898506; and Barwick, L. (2006). A musicologist’s wishlist: some issues, practices and practicalities in musical aspects of language documentation.
