HumOn, an application that creates sheet music by humming, is incredibly popular overseas.
HumOn, a humming-based music composition app developed by domestic startup Cool Jam Company, was selected as the 'Best Innovative Service in the Music Creation/Education Category' at the world-renowned music fair 'Midem' held in Cannes, France on the 7th.
Midem, one of the world's top three music fairs, hosts the Midemlab, an annual awards program that recognizes and rewards notable entertainment startups. Past winners include Germany's SoundCloud, often called the YouTube of the music world for its podcasts and free music; the American crowdfunding service Kickstarter; and The Echo Nest, acquired by Spotify for its music curation technology.
This year, 136 companies from 32 countries applied across four categories: Music Creation & Education, Music Distribution & Discovery, Marketing & Data/Analytics, and Experiential Technologies. A total of 20 finalists were selected. Cool Jam Company was the only Korean company to participate.
HumOn is an app that allows anyone to easily create music just by humming. It is a service developed using music score generation technology through voice analysis and automatic accompaniment generation technology based on machine learning. The currently running beta app has recorded approximately 300,000 downloads on Android OS alone, and the official version is scheduled to be released along with the iOS App Store launch in August.
CEO Choi Byeong-ik, who received the winner's trophy, said, "Musicians and music professionals from all over the world were able to empathize and enjoy music through its language, and feel the power and unity that music has." He added, "This was an opportunity to once again confirm the potential of HumOn in the global market."
Meanwhile, Cool Jam Company has entered the European market by attending not only MIDEM but also the 'Pioneers Festival' held in Vienna, Austria, the 'Startup Village' held in Moscow, Russia, and 'Sonar+D' held in Barcelona, Spain in June.
