FuturePulse
Music is one of the fastest evolving media industries, currently undergoing a transformation at the nexus of music streaming, social media and convergence technologies. The availability of huge music catalogues and choices has rendered the problems of recommendation and discovery as key in the competition for audience, while the continuous access to multiple sources of music consumption have resulted in a dynamic audience, characterized by a highly diverse set of tastes and volatility in preferences which also depend on the context of music consumption.
To serve the increasingly complex needs of the music ecosystem, FuturePulse will develop and pilot test a novel, close to market, music platform in three high-impact use cases:
- Record Labels
- Live Music
- Online Music Platforms
The project will help music companies leverage a variety of music data and content, ranging from broadcasters (TV, radio) and music streaming data, to sales statistics and streams of music-focused social media discussions, interactions and content, through sophisticated analytics and predictive modelling services to make highly informed business decisions, to better understand their audience and the music trends of the future, and ultimately to make music distribution more effective and profitable.
IRCAM’s role in the project consists of the adaptation and perfection of the institute’s technologies for indexing, enabling automatic extraction of information from musical recordings.
