C4DM Spinouts with AIM members pitched at QMI Showcase

Picture of presentation in QMI showcase.C4DM spinouts were showcased at an event organised by Queen Mary Innovation (QMI) which took place on 7 June 2024 – all led by inspiring academic entrepreneurs developing incredible new uses for music, audio, and AI.

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.
