We’ve developed the only solution that enables people to play with all the parts they need in an interactive, lifelike setting. Their first app, Cadenza, enables you to practice your instrument with a full orchestra (a market of 5.2 million people in the US). The orchestra listens to you and adapts to your tempo in real time, allowing you to improve your expressiveness and musicality. In the future, they will expand into singing, many styles of music, and user-generated content.
