ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT MUSIC COMPOSITION
At Jukedeck, we’re building machine learning technology that can compose and adapt professional-quality music, giving people and companies personalised music that’s dynamically shaped to their needs.
How it works
Jukedeck is based on state-of-the-art tech we’re building that brings artificial intelligence to music composition. We’re training deep neural networks to understand how to compose and adapt music, so that we can give people the tools to personalise the music they need.
Who we are
With origins at Cambridge University, we’re a team of composers, producers, engineers, academics and machine learning experts with a shared passion for music and technology.
