Founded in 2009, Musemantik is privately-owned company, located in the heart of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
The company was founded by Dr Maciej Zurawski and Diwakar Thakore, both serial entrepreneurs in the high tech and digital media sectors. Together with their team, they bring together expertise in artificial intelligence, software integration, music composition and production and emotion engineering.
Musemantik was created to explore the boundaries of all of these areas, using advanced software to enhance and increase the user’s emotional engagement within any given environment – virtual or physical.
The company was born out of research carried out at Edinburgh University’s world renowned School of Informatics. Musemantik is backed by a noted Silicon Valley investor. The company has also received support and grant funding from Scottish Enterprise through SMART and other initiatives, as well as an Edinburgh Research and Innovation Grant from the School of Informatics.
Musemantik has already made a number of significant advances in the interactive entertainment sector. The company directors have exhibited, spoken at and participated in many world-class events including:
- Game Developers Conference 2011 (San Francisco)
- Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2010 (Edinburgh)
- Audio Engineering Society 41st conference on Audio for Games
