Twitch strikes music licensing deals for livestreamed DJ setsThe Amazon-owned video platform is announcing music licensing deals with all three major labels plus Merlin. Merlin Connect launches for emerging tech platforms to access independent musicThe initiative from Merlin will make music licensing more accessible to a select group of platforms by delivering fully cleared music. According to the independent sector’s digital music licensing partner, the aim is to “find and empower the next generation of music monetisation opportunities for Merlin’s membership of independent record labels, distributors, and other rights holders”. Discord adds live-radio features via partnership with TuneInDiscord’s latest move into audio is a partnership with radio platform TuneIn. It will see the latter bring a “curated selection of music, news, sport and podcasts” to Discord via one of the latter’s ‘activity’ add-ons. Pex publishes its latest report on 'manipulated' UGC songsContent-ID and rights-management firm Pex has been shouting about ‘modified audio’ in recent months: referring to tracks that have been manipulated (for example sped up or pitch-shifted) and uploaded to platforms including TikTok, YouTube and SoundCloud. Staccs expands Samsung TV Plus partnership with two new channelsSwedish tech start-up Staccs, a free ad-supported television company, has expanded its partnership with Samsung TV Plus with the addition of new music channels. Following the launch of Staccs TV in the UK, Spain and Italy earlier this year, two additional channels are being launched – Staccs TV Throwback and Staccs TV Celebrate, available to UK viewers on Samsung TV Plus from June 13. Stability AI releases a sound generatorCalled Stable Audio Open, the generative model takes a text description (e.g. “Rock beat played in a treated studio, session drumming on an acoustic kit”) and outputs a recording up to 47 seconds in length. The model was trained using around 486,000 samples from free music libraries FreeSound and the Free Music Archive. Hal Leonard Launches MuseClassOne notable MuseClass feature is AutoGrade, the AI-powered practice tool. This pioneering technology listens to a student’s performance and provides immediate feedback on timing and pitch, even for polyphonic instruments like piano or guitar. The tool can inspire students to repeat their practice sessions, or a teacher can set an AutoGrade challenge as an assignment. PEAR Health Labs Partners with Feed.fm to Deliver Science-backed Meditation Music to Aaptiv UsersPEAR Health Labs has partnered with Feed.fm to elevate Aaptiv users’ wellness journeys by incorporating original music that follows scientifically proven methods to promote relaxation and meditation states. Spitfire Audio CEO Will Evans on new music tech company Song AthleticsOn the heels of a flurry of impeccably recorded sample pack releases, newly-founded music tech brand Song Athletics’ ongoing aim is to enrich artistic expression in a broader music production sense. To that end, it’s even co-branded a coffee range. "We’re making tools for music-makers, but coming from a place of having a broader interest in sound and the love of music and recording" My Voice Was Cloned: Seeking Justice in the AI EraImagine hearing your voice in a commercial you never recorded saying words you’ve never said. As the line between innovation and infringement blurs, artists wonder how to protect their voices and when the law can catch up. Hooky is the latest startup helping singers license AI voice-clonesLast November we reported on musicians Lauv and Kevin Woo releasing a Korean-language version of the former’s single ‘Love U Like That’ using AI. The technology came from a startup called Hooky,… Udio Users Make an Average of 864K New Songs Every DayUdio users are surely revelling, churning out 1,200 free songs a month. It starts with text prompts: you type in a description of a music genre, topic, lyrics, and (as the company’s press release oh-so-eloquently puts it: “artists that inspire”), and voilà—a piece of music materialises within 40 seconds. AI won’t replace music producers anytime soon, but many need to adaptThe CTO of Masterchannel, Simon Hestermann, argues that AI will categorically become part of music production — and that it’s time to embrace it. — Send story ideas & feedback to: jeff@platformandstream.com ️— Interested in sponsoring the newsletter?
