Musical Instruments Museum of Leipzig University
Cultural Heritage
Dominik Ukolov is a doctoral researcher and musicologist, focusing on the development of multimodal digitization strategies and virtual access concepts for historical musical instruments. At Leipzig University, he taught electroacoustics and electronic music, followed by research activities in the TASTEN and DISKOS projects, both funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research.
His PhD project MODAVIS aims at the multimodal virtualization of pipe organs and their coupled acoustical environments, resulting in representations for creative, museum and research purposes. In this context, he is developing the new standard for Virtual Acoustic Objects (VAO), a framework for their creation and management, and a platform for an interactive access.
Currently, he is a researcher at the Research Center DIGITAL ORGANOLOGY at the Museum for Musical Instruments of Leipzig University, which holds the second largest collection of musical instruments in Europe. In addition, he is teaching a Master's seminar in Digital Humanities about multimodal research data of acoustical cultural heritage.
His studies in musicology and cultural sciences were supported by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, as was his exposé and now his PhD project, for which he was awarded with the Frederick R. Selch Award by the American Musical Instrument Society in 2022.
