Music Information Retrieval (MIR) algorithms, Technology, Music Production

Pointing to Music Information Retrieval (MIR) algorithms, Lassen sees room for even more exciting innovations. MIR algorithms give computers the ability to "hear" and recognize certain characteristics of what they're hearing—for example, what key the song is in, the chord progressions used, the genre, and so on. Combined with an emotionally intelligent system and Intel RealSense technology, "things could get very interesting. (source infra)

Technology Amplifies Music Production | Intel Software Adrenaline: "... Justin Lassen is a composer, remixer, and sound designer. His youthful looks belie his extensive experience in creating soundtracks for games, composing music for films, designing sounds for the latest synthesizers and sample players, and remixing tracks for a who’s who of music hit-makers. He has collaborated with artists known for being “dark and edgy”—Apocalyptica, Nine Inch Nails, and Linkin Park, to name a few—but he has also worked on lighter fare... Through it all, mobile devices have been at the heart of Lassen’s creative workflow....Lassen has been saying that people can do “real creative work” on mobile devices for the past 10 years. That workflow, which is still valid today, involved bringing ideas developed on mobile devices back to a more powerful desktop PC or Ultrabook™ device where ideas could be refined using hardware and software capable of running hundreds of audio and MIDI tracks, virtual synthesizers, and gigantic sample libraries, as well as mountains of computationally intensive effects. Pervasive XML, FLP, and MIDI file support in apps running Android*, iOS*, and Windows* 8 have helped streamline that process by facilitating seamless file transfer between mobile music apps and their full-featured desktop counterparts..."
