My guest today is my friend Thomas Lidy. We met in Athens 2018, when I was involved in the European Horizon 2020 research project FuturePulse through Soundtrack Your Brand. Thomas is from Vienna Austria and has been active in semantic audio analysis and AI-based music recognition since 2004. He has a Master of Science and has pursued a PhD in computer science (which he has not finished, though) from Vienna University of Technology, where he also started his research career, focusing on Music Information Retrieval.
Previously, Thomas was the founder and CEO of the music discovery startup Spectralmind. Today, he is the Chief Innovation Officer at Musimap, a company combining human knowledge and AI to gain insight into music and music consumption. Musimap owns one of the largest annotated music databases in the world.
Together with his team of musicologists and data scientists, he has created an emotion-aware music AI that is able to analysis both music and people based on their emotional signature in order to enhance music recommendation and enable completely new branding opportunities with a deep link to people's music preferences. Thomas is the creator and co-host of the successful Vienna Deep Learning Meetup, He has also co-organized AI Summit Vienna 2017 and has published over 40 publications in the field of music analysis & AI. In this episode, Thomas and I discuss the ins and outs of Emotional AI and music analysis and recommendation.
“Our goal is to becoming the “Ultimate Music Assistant” by decoding the DNA of music.”.

MusiMe: You are what you listen to
Quincy Jones and Musimap to refashion music consumption with the psychographic profiling engine of MusiMe …
Quincy Jones’ songs appear as conveying good vibrations, with an intent to share, with energy and enthusiasm, enclosing positivity, freedom, comfort and care (nourishment). They are imprinted with love, with important seductive & sensuality dimensions, romantic with a touch of femininity, with a hint of spirituality and harmony. They contain a bit of extroversion, self-confidence and a somewhat flashy attitude. They have a strong anchorage (roots), are organic and slightly tribal.
MusiMe classifies Quincy Jones as an « Entertainer, Performer » following the MBTI model. He is of the ESFP type, with a focus on extroversion; sensing, feeling and perceiving the world intensely. His way of facing life is « Demonstrative ». His « temperament Family » is the one of the « Tactical Artisan » kind, with a strength on « Sensation and Perception ». According to the results, Quincy Jones permanently seeks the joy of living, is people-oriented, appreciates a lot materialistic comfort, has a constant need for stimulation and pursues out of the common experiences. He is a seducer, wants to be admired by others and can enjoy spending and showing off from time to time. He is a generous person, likely to offer gifts to his partners. He has absolutely no desire to control others but needs to feel free as well. He is a very good listener and wants to be surrounded with people who resemble him. On the weakness side, Musimap’s engine points out that he might be procrastinating at times, with a lack of focus and that he is hyperactive and reckless.

Research by Thomas Lidy
Read moreMusic is one of the fastest evolving media industries, currently undergoing a transformation at the nexus of music streaming, social media and convergence technologies. As a result, the music industry has become a mixed economy of diverse consumer channels and revenue streams, as well as disruptive innovations based on new services and content distribution models. In this setting, music companies encounter daunting challenges in dealing successfully with the transition to the new field that is shaped by streaming music, social media and media convergence. The availability of huge music catalogues and choices has rendered the problems of recommendation and discovery as key in the competition for audience, while the continuous access to multiple sources of music consumption have resulted in a dynamic audience, characterized by a highly diverse set of tastes and volatility in preferences which also depend on the context of music consumption.
To serve the increasingly complex needs of the music ecosystem, FuturePulse will develop and pilot test a novel, close to market music platform in three high-impact use cases:
- Record Labels
- Live Music
- Online Music Platforms
The project will help music companies leverage a variety of music data and content, ranging from broadcasters (TV, radio) and music streaming data, to sales statistics and streams of music-focused social media discussions, interactions and content, through sophisticated analytics and predictive modelling services to make highly informed business decisions, to better understand their audience and the music trends of the future, and ultimately to make music distribution more effective and profitable. FuturePulse will offer these capabilities over a user-friendly, highly intuitive and visual web solution that will enable the immersion of music professionals in the realm of music data, and will support them to make highly informed and effective business decisions.
