Researchers from the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) are sifting through digital audio tracks of ethnic Philippine music, using and further developing their algorithms to isolate voice, percussion and instruments from each other.
They hope their pioneering research will lay the groundwork for the preservation of Philippine indigenous music, which has been losing listeners and contributors for years.
The project is a collaboration between researchers from the Center of Ethnomusicology and the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute at UPD.
