# Harmony and Variation in Music Information Retrieval

<img src="https://0110.be/files/attachments/401/UUlogo.gif" alt="Logo Universiteit Utrecht" style="float:right;margin-left:-150px;margin-right:-80px">The 29th of February 2012 there was a symposium on Music Information Retreival in Utrecht. It was organized on the occasion of Bas de Haas' PhD defense. The title of the study day was [Harmony and variation in music information retrieval](http://research.cs.uu.nl/index.php/events/symposium-harmony-variation-in-mir).

During the talk by Xavier Serra rasikas.org was mentioned a forum with [discussions about Carnatic Music](http://rasikas.org). Since I could find a couple of discussions about pitch use on that forum I [plugged Tarsos](http://www.rasikas.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18763) there to see if I could gather some feedback.
