About

History

SampleSumo is a young company originally founded by Koen Tanghe in 2007 and has a strong background in R&D and software development in the music technology domain.

In 2009, Bram de Jong joined the company as co-owner, and the company expanded its activities to web-based audio software development.

Up to now, we have mainly been offering our skills to other companies and organizations, but we are now also focusing more on own products and technologies.

Mission

SampleSumo’s mission is to bring smart music & audio processing technology into the hands of end-users and companies through well-developed products and technology packets.

Up to recently, music has always been treated as a binary stream of audio samples that could only be interpreted in a meaningful way by humans. Recent scientific and technological developments have now made it possible to build algorithms that actually understand what is happening in the audio signal on a semantic level. This opens up new opportunities for applications that fulfill needs of both end-users and businesses built around this medium.

We are aiming to become an important world wide player regarding practical applications of smart audio processing technology, with a double focus:

• to create marketable products built around smart music and audio processing technology
• to provide other companies who lack the know-how in this domain with technology licenses and/or paid services

Markets

Our services and future products are focused on the following market segments:

• music production and performance
• interactive multimedia and gaming
• music education
• advertising / branding
• surveillance and monitoring
