Staff member, Dr. Bryan Duggan's book "Machine Annotation of Traditional Irish Dance Music" is now avaiable on Amazon.com. His book details his efforts to solve the problem faced by musicians and ethnomusicologists in identifying tunes from recordings given the huge diversity in the canon of traditional Irish dance tunes. His approach is to develop a Content Based Music Information Retrieval (CBMIR) system adapted to the characteristics of traditional Irish dance music.
