Announcing the Winner of Our First Annual Software Incubator Lab!

by

The winner of Art+Logic’s first annual software Incubator Lab is Scott Hawley, PhD., Associate Professor of Physics at Belmont University in Nashville. Dr. Hawley submitted a machine-learning based app that uses neural networks and Deep Learning to allow producers and composers to train their own systems to help classify, organize, and query their datasets of samples and loops. This project will allow musicians and producers the ability to train their systems to use their own tags and criteria.
“I’m honored and excited to have the opportunity to work with Art+Logic,” says Dr. Hawley. “They’re a company that combines high competence with an ease of working together. Together, we’re partnering to put the training of ‘artificially intelligent’ audio processing into the hands of individual composers and producers. Art+Logic have become the key to making my idea a reality!”
Dr. Hawley’s project will receive:

  • A working prototype created by Art+Logic’s talented team of designers and developers (valued at over $50,000).
  • Ongoing support during the capital raising process.
  • An opportunity to have the full-featured version of their concept built by Art+Logic.
  • The opportunity to work with Art+Logic strategists to refine their concept and marketing strategy.

The idea for this project began in Nashville’s ASPIRE Research Co-op, a gathering dedicated to ‘bringing our innovative audio ideas to life.’ You can follow the progress of the project at artandlogic.com/incubator.
