Sonaris Systems

if shazam provides the answer to "i like it - what is it?", we provide the answer to "i like it - is there anything else like it?". sonaris analyses an audio stream in real time, and matches it to similar sounds from other tracks. sonaris helps discovery of new artists regardless of their name or provenance, compilations of well-mixed playlists, and fast licensing of just the right music for film and advertising productions. sonaris was co-authored by michela magas and cyril laurier, aided by an award to stromatolite from the uk technology strategy board. it builds upon two sets of phd research which became more than the sum of their parts. the first version of sonaris enabled discovery of music from the awal - artists without a label - an independent collection which includes artists like moby and thom yorke. the sonaris technology was used to power the songlines exhibit at the "make it in great britain" exhibition at the science museum during the london olympics. follow us on @sonari
