Waive is a smart DJ system that uses AI to create unique music samples, beats and loops from the digitised audio archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.

​

The aim of this project is to introduce new audiences to audio heritage through the use of AI and new computer technologies.

​

Waive is being developed as an AI-driven music tool that recognises musical potential in thematic archival audio collections. Such as collections with city sounds, harbour sounds or animal sounds. ​The user interface is designed as an accessible digital instrument (DAW) that could be used by any musician.
