SHARE the magic

Share your creation with your friends, or with the world. And sharing is not a dead end - it can become an influence or a source for others.

OUR STORY

As musicians and composers, both James and Nicolas have been obsessed with the idea of leveraging AI to augment human musical creativity for over a decade. For James, this obsession led to a PhD, and for Nicolas an MSc.

As a classically trained pianist, Olivier has also long dreamed of being involved in a music tech startup. He has extensive experience in apps, most recently as President of WeatherBug; an app with over 15 million active users in the very competitive and sophisticated world of big apps.

​

The 3 of them share a deep interest in the artistic and commercial potential of leveraging AI to augment human musical creativity.

OUR VISION

Music is a fundamentally human activity. Now more than ever, media consumers are becoming media producers. Aspiring musicians—those with the desire for musical creativity, but who may lack instrumental skills and music theoretical knowledge—often feel dissatisfied with their ability to convey their musical ideas.

Spliqs engages and invigorates the fundamental human capacity for music, allowing aspiring musicians to move from being frustrated “dabblers” to active musical creators, while also augmenting the creativity of experienced composers and musicians.The ultimate aim of Spliqs is to develop an AI-assisted ecosystem and crowd-sourced repository for musical concepts, offering benefits to aspiring musicians and working professionals alike.

​

We believe it is a better world when people spend more time being creative and sharing their creations.

TECHNOLOGY

Spliqs uses Metacreative AI technology to foster and augment musical creativity. Like a riff or loop, a spliq is a musical concept, but while a normal loop is a static, fixed thing, spliqs are intelligent and adaptive entities. Think of spliqs as a way to open-source music, so that it can be easily manipulated and transformed. A spliq is a proprietary combination of a symbolic music representation and a set of intelligent metacreative algorithms:
 

Spliq = Symbolic Music Representation + Metacreative AI

This core technology powers the Spliqs platform; an ecosystem built around the Spliqs engine, a suite of mobile and desktop apps, and a social sharing and crowdsourcing community at spliqs.com. Within this ecosystem, individual spliqs function as interactive musical ingredients, which can be blended and manipulated—for example, taking the rhythmic features of one spliq and combining them with the pitch or harmonic features of another—producing unique and unexpected musical results.
