A spatial exploration of Athens' musical heritage using LLM analysis of oral histories

About This Project

This interactive map uses Gemini-2.0-Flash, a multimodal AI model, to extract significant musical locations from the Athens Music Project Oral History Collection interviews.

How It Works

• AI analyzes interview transcripts to identify key locations in Athens music history
• These locations are geocoded and placed on this interactive map

Source Material

The Athens Music Project Oral History Collection contains 120 interviews with musicians, producers, and scene participants. The collection is part of the Athens Music Project (AMP), a Willson Center for Humanities and Arts research cluster co-directed by Jean Kidula and Susan Thomas. The Athens Music Project was founded in 2014 as a platform for research, creative development, and shared expertise in, about, and for the diverse musical communities that make the city of Athens.
