Our role Research, generative audio models, signal processing, production.
Within the music team at Sony CSL in Paris, Cyril Laurier worked on researching generative audio models for music creation and taking them into production.
Projects:
- Phase and EQ matching signal processing algorithms: automatic phase correction and automatic equalisation.
- BassNet, DrumNet and DrumGAN generative models put in musicians’ hands through creative tools. DrumGAN went on to join Backbone, Steinberg’s drum resynthesiser.
A complete cycle: training on large audio corpora, optimising latency for real-time playing, then iterating on musicians’ feedback.
Among foundation models, one of the bass line generation models relied on an LLM-style approach. It was published and used by musicians as a creative tool.
