Musicians intent on rock stardom can now turn to a simple file scan that uses an algorithm to improve odds at scoring a chart-topper.
That’s the idea behind Music Intelligence Solutions’ Hit Song Science (HSS) technology located on uPlaya.com. The technology mathematically analyzes the underlying patterns in a track, including harmony, chord progression and lyrics.
The computer then compares the song’s mathematical characteristics against past successful recordings from multiple genres and languages and maps the data on a multidimensional grid.
This matrix, dubbed the uPlaya Music Universe, is populated with “hit clusters,” or compact constellations of popular tracks, as well as lone pinpoints of musical obscurity.
Music Intelligence Solutions CEO David Meredith insisted that the technology tends to elevate tracks that break free from established musical trends.
“The songs that score the best include a certain amount of unpredictability in the music,” Meredith told Discovery News. “Norah Jones is a great example of an artist who pulled from jazz and pop to create a sound that was different from other artists at the time, but the underlying pattern of her music was strong and the music scored very well.”
If a song scores a 7.00 or higher, its creator has a possible hit. Think of the technology as the artificial intelligence counterpart of Simon Cowell, except with more stats and less sarcasm. - – ->MORE
