Ed Newton-Rex started building the first version of Jukedeck’s
algorithmic composition system in 2010, and founded the company in 2012. In 2014, Patrick Stobbs left
Google to join as co-founder. Newton-Rex’s original
algorithmic composition program was a rule-based system in which note and chord probabilities were hard-coded. By 2017, this had been replaced with a two-tiered approach, in which
artificial neural networks generated
musical compositions which were converted to audio using an automated
music production program. Music could be generated in a number of genres, from
folk to
electronica. In 2018, Jukedeck’s technology was used to compose the music for
K-pop girl group
Spica for a performance at a concert at the Blue Square Concert Hall in
Seoul. == Awards ==
