With this years theme being ‘immersive’, the conference brings together interdisciplinary work from composers, scientists and other researchers tackling engagement with digital sound and music.

The Centre for Digital Music will be present with work ranging from piano transcription to latent audio models. We look forward to sharing the below papers, authored or co-authored by AIM members:

  • A Generative Framework for Composition-aware Loop Recommendation In Music Production: Drum2Bass Use Case, by Xiaowan Yi and Mathieu Barthet
  • Simulating Piano Performance Mistakes for Music Learning Context, by Alia Morsi (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Huan Zhang, Akira Maezawa (Yamaha Corporation), Simon Dixon and Xavier Serra (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
  • Temporal Analysis of Emotion Perception in Film Music: Insights from the FME-24 Dataset, by Ruby O.N Crocker and George Fazekas

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.

Get in touch with QMI and spinout leads to learn more about HITar and other C4DM spinouts and what else is in the pipeline!
