I fondly remember many discussions in the cellar and at my desk at the Wijnaert. Undeniably, they had a defining influence on my research and personal life. His pointers on music theory, support with academic writing and ideas on computer aided (ethno)musicology are just a few examples.Īctually, I want to profoundly thank the whole group of colleague researchers at the School of Arts, or what was then known as the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. His guidance during those first four (and following) years was indispensable. The concept of having an engineer next to a humanities scholar was definitely enriching to me and I do hope that the opposite is also somewhat true. Thanks to Olmo for writing the project proposal which eventually allowed me to start my research career at the School of Arts. It is safe to say that without Olmo Cornelis I would not have started this PhD project. This allowed me to not only have a broad perspective but also reach depth required to contribute new knowledge and propose innovative methods. At IPEM, Ghent University I was given the opportunity to continue my work as a doctoral student again for four years. At the School of Arts, Ghent I was employed for four years as a scientific employee. I also had the time required to cover a lot of ground. I think this multi-disciplinary approach prepared me better for a hopefully somewhat stable career in research. This meandering has enabled me to enjoy various vistas and led me to a plethora of places - physically and intellectually - not easily reached without taking a turn now and again. The output of this work has been described in various articles some of which are bundled in this dissertation.Īdmittedly, my research trajectory does not follow the straightest path but meanders around several fields. As a trained computer scientist I have been applying my engineering background to problems in systematic musicology. I have been lucky enough to pursue and combine my interests for both music and computer science in my research. This doctoral dissertation is the culmination of my research carried out at both IPEM, Ghent University and the School of Arts also in Ghent.
