AIM Industry Showcase Event

On Tuesday 29th October, we held an AI and Music Centre for Doctoral Training (AIM CDT) showcase event for our industry partners and collaborators featuring some of the research AIM CDT students do. We introduced the AIM CDT and outlined potential collaboration opportunities, including with C4DM academics and their research interests. We also discussed research ideas, including potential PhD topic and internship proposals.

Several AIM students presented their work:

C4DM Spinouts with AIM members pitched at QMI Showcase

HITar, founded by AIM PhD student Andrea Martelloni, uses real-time embedded AI to provide a rich control surface on an acoustic guitar’s body for making drum and synthesiser sounds – giving the artist true freedom of expression.

RoEx, founded by David Ronan, lets musicians produce professional-level mixes in minutes. By removing barriers, this technology can democratise professional music creation, making it accessible and intuitive for all.

Nemisindo, founded by Josh Reiss, generates original sound effects in real time, creating sounds which are truly believable – rather than relying on pre-recorded effects which are never quite right.
