Why are some sequences meaningful to us and make up a beautiful song and other sequences just sound like random notes?
While the number of possible melody patterns combined with all of the other variables in recorded music allow for a seemingly infinite number of combinations. The patterns that we find pleasing haven’t changed a lot. What has changed are the instruments used, the styles, the way the music is performed etc. Our technology can actually help music labels gain confidence in promoting music that does not sound formulaic because we can show them that the music in question will be successful and that they will see a return on their investment in it. Keep in mind that most labels liked Norah Jones’ music but did not feel they would make any money promoting it. Our technology can help during those kinds of evaluations.
