Let's hope it will lead to something.
I talked with this professor as part of my recent "lobbying" activities, 
and asked if it would be possible to give students projects of that 
kind. He was very welcoming and told me that he's always looking for 
ideas for the students who don't have ideas by themselves (ts, ts ...).
As they have the computer science and the musicological institute which 
don't work together as intensely as hoped, he is quite interested in 
supporting projects that may promote the relationship of both.

Makes sense.
