Machine learning & our own AI
We design systems that listen, observe and decide: detecting emotion in music, making staging choices in real time, recommendation engines.
Our music analysis models come from Cyril Laurier’s PhD research at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and from Paul Brossier’s aubio library. In 2015 they gave rise to OX, to our knowledge the first machine sensitive to music: a light stage driven by an AI that listens to the mix live.
