Have you heard about this? This stuff called Polyphonic HMI software has been developed to help determine the liklihood of any given song becoming a billboard hit. Say what? Yes. We have reached the point in our technology where software is sophisticated enough to analyze music (the structure, rhythms, changes in keys) convert all this to raw data and compare the raw data to a known data base of "hits" and thereby figure out if its likely to be succesful at all. Apparently this software predicted the massive popularity of Nora Jones recent album which was very unlikely intuitively. I mean teenie boppers buying a young lounge jazz crooner by the millions? come on. but the software said: multipe hits. and it got it right. woah.
So this means that all music will now be essentialy formulated (at least culled out) by computer. Big labels are already using this thing on all their prospects. What will this mean for the art of music making in the next half century?

heres the premise:
Much of what attracts us to a particular song is found in the basic structure of the music. Particular rhythms, changes in key and certain melodic patterns define the psychological and very human response we all have to music.
Polyphonic HMI has developed proprietary music analysis technologies capable of identifying music preferences of a user or the whole current recorded music market and intelligently selecting music to recommend to the user or to release as a single.
Our technology not only allows similarities to be identified between existing successful music and unreleased or unsigned music, but can also use that data to identify emerging trends as the music landscape changes.
