Orpheus Media Research, LLC has developed a breakthrough process called "Clio" (Patent Pending) capable of extracting the fundamental building blocks that make up any piece of music, its raw "DNA". Modeled on research observations in human perception and cognition, Clio identifies key melodic patterns and recognizes relevant variations. The results can then be used to describe the unique characteristics of any specific work or musical style the way trained musicians do.

What puts Clio ahead of other approaches is how it dissects musical content, analyzing individual instrument layers to capture the flow of creative ideas. Clio can examine how an acoustic bass line supports the lead vocal, or how a snare drum interacts with the guitar accompaniment, to learn the specific characteristics of individual players and develop an understanding of the musical style they help create.

Clio doesn't depend on hearing the same music in identical (or even similar) settings. Whether a work is performed by a pair of dueling banjos, a symphony orchestra, or on a kazoo, Clio will recognize it and conduct successful analysis within the different performance contexts.

In addition, Clio's algorithms can reveal the extent to which multiple pieces are influentially (or even historically) related -- a process similar to the way human DNA allows scientists to determine precise ancestral relationships between people.

Clio is fully scalable and easily integrated into existing products, providing you with a solution that delivers results surpassing anything else available today. Contact us directly to discuss licensing options , and to find out how we can help you get started with Clio.
