Technologies developed by MuTant can find their way with general public (besides professional musicians) and within the entertainment industry. Recent trends in music industry show signs of tendencies towards more intelligent and interactive interfaces for music applications. Among them is reactive and adaptive automatic accompaniment and performance assessment as commercialized by companies such as MakeMusic and Tonara. Technologies developed around Antescofo can enhance interaction between user and the computer for such large public applications. We hope to pursue this by licensing our technologies to third-party companies.
