In the digital domain, music is usually studied from a positivist viewpoint, focusing on general ’objective’ music descriptors. In this work, we strive to put music in a more social and cultural context, looking into ways to unify data analysis methods with thoughts from the humanities on musical meaning and signi ficance. More speci fically, we investigate whether information in collaborative web resources on movie plot narratives and folksonomic song tags is capable of revealing common associations between these two. Reported initial fi ndings suggest this is indeed the case, which opens opportunities for further work in this area, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and novel contextually oriented music information retrieval application scenarios.

Subsequently, we summarize initial use case feedback from two different user groups. Despite the early stage of the project, the feedback already gives important insight into real-world considerations to make for interactive music content consumption solutions.
