In general, studies in the Ammerman Center combine the fields of art and technology, with at least two aspects from each domain being synthesized in the research. The collaborative research of Professor Izmirli and Leue focused on music information retrieval. Specifically, the project looked at how songs could be retrieved from a search query strictly based on different aspects of musical content, namely rhythm and tempo. The method used to discover the possibilities of this type of extraction was to segment a piece of audio into its general beat structure.
