Abstract

The OMRAS2 project represents several years of discussion, preparation and hard work - and that was just to get it funded. It follows on from the seminal OMRAS project, which claimed the world's first symbolic music retrieval from a polyphonic audio query over a meaningful test collection.

OMRAS2 will last 42 months and funds 132 man-months of research effort. Its aim is to provide a distributed research environment for Music Informatics scientists, Music Information Retrieval researchers and Computational Musicologists.

This brief talk will outline the project and will attempt to kindle interest in the community, hoping that this will lead to an even bigger effort from UK and other researchers.
