Comparing the Italian and Danish Music Industries With Network Analysis by L.M. Benetti, D. Fejerskov-Quist, & M. Coscia, published in Complexity

We build music band collaboration networks based on bands sharing artists playing for them. We do so for both Italy and Denmark. The paper shows that the two networks have similar structural properties, with clusters based on genres and temporal similarity. There are also differences, showing that the Danish and Italian music industries have different periods and genres in which they express a high degree of diversity. Finally, we can identify the bands that link together the Italian and Danish music scene.
