orbit is delighted to be working with a generative music technology start-up who are developing novel AI solutions to increase the capabilities of composers to create original music. DAACI is the next step in the evolution of music creation. DAACI is a comprehensive AI system that composes, arranges, orchestrates and produces authentic, high-quality and original music with emotional and narrative awareness. It is set to empower today's generation of composers for the next generation of content, forming a central part of game production, the metaverse, digital worlds and dynamic virtual experiences.

Who are DAACI?

DAACI's vision is to develop novel AI solutions that vastly increase the capabilities of composers to create original music. Bringing together musicologists, AI and significant industry experience, we are revolutionising the approach to creating and distributing music.

We use a proprietary, analytical approach to music composition by expressing the principles of composition mathematically through a bespoke MCI (Meta-Composition Interface). These principles are then used to generate fully formed music that incorporates Stochastic/Aleatoric processes, AI and Musicology. The notes generated by this system are rendered into professional music with top-quality production values using an in-house synth module.

We are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our rapidly-growing, dynamic start-up and help us build the tools needed in our rendering systems to generate superb-quality music. You will fit right in if you are equally happy working with professional composers as you are with software developers.
