Among the tasks of MARTlab there is also the vocational training, reason why it takes part to projects promoted by the European Social Fund and it contributes to the diffusion of specific technical competences that can be applied to music.

Origin and history:

MARTLab is a centre for the research, restoration, archive and conservation of audio supports and sound files. In 2003 MARTLab has been set upas an autonomous centre by the Conservatory L. Cherubini, in collaboration with ISTI del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and with the contribution of Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze and the Tuscan brunch of RAI.At the beginnings of the 80’s the centre started its activities of production, restoration and didactic, together with the experimental course of Music Computer Sciences, created by Maestro Pietro Grossi. Thanks to advanced specific competences and equipment,MARTLab could focus its work on the study and research of the handling of sound files. Recently MARTLab has collaborated with the Fondazione Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale in the realization and promotion of the event “Sound Archives of Music”, a project based on the study of certification’s standards and sound archives’preservation. Since 2008, MARTALab is part of the Centro Multimediale del Conservatorio L. Cherubini di Firenze (Multimedia Centre of the Conservatory L. Cherubini in Florence).
