  MUSCIDS is an interdisciplinary research project that investigates collaborative music making in the digital age. Our aim is to better understand changing ecologies of music production in the domestic and digital spaces of musicians in four European countries – the U.K., Norway, Austria, and Hungary. The project will examine how producers of music are adapting to the twin challenges of the global pandemic and digitalisation; explore the latter’s impact on the creative opportunities, social relationships and collaborative outputs of amateur and professional musicians; and support music industry bodies and policy makers in grasping why domestic production matters for the vitality of the live and recorded music sectors.
