Music technology consulting and collaboration

Let’s work together.

Bring a signature sound, a product challenge, or a piece of research. We help turn it into a musical tool people can use and developers can build upon.

Jazz Calls Home, the artist behind this collaboration

Producer-led plugin

A bouncing delay with beats to try it on.

A cross-feeding stereo delay built from an artist's own vocal chain, with reverb, saturation and compression after it in the same plugin, paired with a drum mini bank and 4-bar MIDI loops so it makes sense the moment you load it.

How we can help

Ways we can work together.

Choose the starting point closest to your project, or tell us what you need in the brief below.

Develop an artist’s signature tool

Turn a distinctive sound or musical practice into an instrument, effect, or sound collection. You direct the music; we help develop and prepare the product.

Apply as an artist or producer

Unblock an audio product integration

Bring the interface, model, or host integration holding up your next milestone. Scope a working result, checks, and handover within your existing stack.

Explore integration support

Make research easier to build upon

Bring a model, algorithm, or method into a usable interface and reusable developer tools, with examples and checks that help others integrate it.

Explore research tools and transfer

Take a prototype further

Find a practical path from a browser demo to a tool people can use. Scope a port or a release around what already works.

Technology into practice

Give developers a useful starting point.

A model or algorithm becomes easier to adopt when people can try it, understand its inputs and outputs, and connect it to their own software. We can help build that bridge: a runtime integration, a focused interface, reusable components, and examples.

MIDI-GPT in the browser

We adapted MIDI-GPT for browser MIDI experiments, with TypeScript components for musical scores, tokenization, and generation constraints. Our hackathon account shows one way that work became a musical prototype.

Tools around Stable Audio

We are building browser generation interfaces and local experimentation tools around Stable Audio. The one-shot generator offers Local AI mode on supported devices, putting prompts, settings, and auditioning in one workflow.

Explore audio generation

For your technology, we agree the intended developers, runtime, permissions, integration checks, and handover. A browser example and a local runtime can serve different needs.

Discuss a technology integration

A strong pitch

Start with what you know, not a finished brief.

Tell us what exists today, where it falls short, who it serves, and what a useful result would change. For an artist, that might begin with a sound or process. For a company or research team, it might begin with a system, prototype, or technical possibility.

You do not need a finished spec.

We can begin from a sound, existing product, codebase, model, recording method, missing workflow, integration constraint, research question, or audience need. Give us enough context for a useful first conversation.

Start a private brief

Private brief

Tell us what is holding up your next milestone.

Describe the interface, model, or host connection your product needs and what is getting in the way. After submission, you receive a saved receipt. The team reviews your private brief to assess fit; any scope and next steps need a separate discussion.

Personal details and submitted materials stay private and are available only to you and the Maru team.
