We are interested in the cultural and community aspects of Sound and Music Computing, which means, in the development of music information processing techniques by modeling sounds and music together with the user community that is around them. This research is being carried out in the context of CompMusic, Freesound.org and SIGMUS.
In the context of CompMusic we are interested in the development of new music description techniques through the study of the art music traditions of India (Hindustani and Carnatic), Turkey (Ottoman), Maghreb (Andalusi), and China (Han) (ex: Serra 2012; Serra, 2011).
In the context of Freesound we are interested in issues of social computing, studying how we can improve the technologies behind Freesound through community profiling (ex: Font et al., 2012; Roma et al., 2012).
