Toward an audio dataset of Musical Rhythms in Tunisia
This presentation will give an overview of an in development dataset of Musical Rhythms in Tunisia for a forthcoming computational analysis. The dataset is constituted mainly by excerpts from field recordings (minimum four rhythmic cycles) and should be representative of the rhythmic musical landscape in Tunisia (genres and regions). Labels/tags added to excerpts would give a taxonomy of these rhythms following the traditional musicological classification, and indicate, besides the metadata of the original record, the vernacular name of the rhythm, number of beats and the musical genre to which it belongs.
