Recombinant

Recombinant provides a platform for the study of music as a language and develops interactive technology that puts the fan in the band.

Recombinant is a music data company and media technology lab. Their focus is on developing new technologies and repurposing music data in ways that improve the consumer music experience in mobile and tablet, as well as augmented and virtual reality systems. Cofounded by algorithmic composition pioneer Professor Emeritus David Cope of University of California Santa Cruz, Recombinant Inc leverages deep skills in compositional analysis to deliver next generation music environments the consumer can see and touch. Their initiatives include : - ‘Frictionless’ virtual talent environments that put the fan in the band on touchscreen and motion control. Their JamBandit (www.jambandit.com) iOS platform enables anyone to play music like an expert, no practice or training required. - Translating music data into visual logic that makes images and advertising contextually responsive to music. How the image or ad looks depends on what music it’s exposed to.
