From You Tube to the big screen, no matter what visual content you are creating, chances are it will need some background music to go with it. Up to now, technology development has focused on the tools to shoot and edit the pictures and when it comes to music, well, unless you are a gifted musician and can compose your own music, you will probably go to itunes or your CD collection to trawl through what might be suitable. You then have your pictures with your favorite music tracks, simple! Perhaps so, but if you want to share your video with the rest of the world, you may find that you are infringing copyright and liable for royalty payments.

Abaltat has developed technology that actually composes original music to match your video. It solves the problem of copyright infringment and royalties since the music created is 100% royalty free meaning you are free to publish and/or broadcast it.  It is also a fantastically liberating piece of software because it de-mystifies the music composition process and enables anybody, regardless of musical ability, to actually compose and arrange music. It is also great fun to use. Simply compose, arrange, export.

It works by analyzing the color content of your pictures and uses this information, along with other user choices such as music style and tempo, to create a five part soundtrack. You now have access to a virtual band of 5 musicians who can play a wide variety of instruments and within the software you have the tools to decide where these musicians play and what instrument they play. You get to be the conductor of your virtual band!

The core of Abaltat’s capability is the self generation of original music at the hands of the user. Go ahead, download one of our 7 day free trial products now and experience the fun of creating your very own soundtrack.
