The project is being funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council through Steve Benford’s Dream Fellowship award (grant reference EP/J005215/1), through the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training (EP/G037574/1) and through the Fusing Semantic and Audio Technologies (FAST) project (EP/L019901/1). We are very grateful to EPSRC for their support. They are most welcome to play their guitar when it is ready.

We would also like to especially thank Toby Jackson, Rob Miles and the team at Nottinghack for their very generous help and use of facilities.
