At Sony CSL, we imagine the technology for the music of the next decade, focusing on AI-assisted music production. Our researchers work hand in hand with Sony-affiliated musicians and content creators to understand the complexity of modern music production processes. By combining cutting-edge A.I. research with solid musical expertise, we aim to develop tools that will extend the scope of musicians’ capabilities and push the boundaries of creativity.
Artists are no specialists in deep learning. Hence, when we want them to try new things, simply transferring research code is insufficient. Therefore, we need to integrate into their workflow as seamlessly as possible. Consequently, we put a lot of effort into developing prototypes that embed our technology for artists to experiment, play, and feel what AI-assisted music composition could be in the future.
Founded in 1988, Sony CSL (Sony Computer Science Laboratories) is a leading-edge organization that works to create new research areas and paradigms and new technologies and businesses for the common social good. We find inspiration in developing technologies and businesses that hold great promise of providing a brighter future for all. Initially, Sony CSL focused on fundamental research in computer systems, including operating systems, the Internet, and user interfaces. As the organization evolved, its focus shifted to exploring ways to use computers in diverse domains such as systems biology, econophysics, and artificial intelligence.
