While practising ethnomusicological research on this dataset, we to develop and publish useful software and methodologies for the (ethno)musicological research community. From November 2009 until November 2013 this research project was organised at [the School of Arts, University College Ghent](http://schoolofarts.be), under supervision by Olmo Cornelis. Later, from November 2013 onwards, the project turned into a 2 year doctoral research project hosted at [IPEM, University Ghent](http://www.ipem.ugent.be) under the supervision of Marc Leman. ### Partners - [University Ghent, IPEM](http://www.ipem.ugent.be/): The Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music is part of the Music department at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, at Ghent University. - [University College Ghent, School of Arts](http://schoolofarts.be): The School of Arts, Ghent consists of the Royal Conservatory and KASK. - [Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren](http://www.africamuseum.be/): A federal research institute which provides us with the dataset generated during the [DEKKMMA (Digitization of the Ethnomusicological Sound Archive of the Royal Museum for Central Africa - the abbreviation works better in Dutch.)](http://music.africamuseum.be/english/index.html) project.
