The technology can compose emotional soundtracks for films, video games, commercials and any type of entertainment content. AIVA’s own music is now on streaming websites such as Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal and has also been used by companies such as Vodafone and Nvidia. Barreau’s goal is to enable AI-generated music to create a new use cases of music and empower the next generation of composers and content creators.
