I've been trying to get a handle on how to organise, analyse and track trends in my own performance footage and possibly more importantly recurring trends in improvising language (of other people) that speaks to me. Things like 'ascending triadic structures', 'rhythmic augmentation' etc (these are just terms I'm pulling out of thin air.... I have to figure out what my nodes will be).
Today I discovered Nvivo. It's a program for organising and analysing qualitative data. It could be exactly what I need!
