Dec 12, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Pixelynx, a metaverse company owned by Animoca Brands, has launched new features for its AI-powered music creation platform, Korus. The tools include interactive visuals, a layering tool, video recording, a playlist feature, and a rewards program. Korus' main tool, "Sound Mosaic," is a music composition algorithm that composes music based on uploaded stem files. The platform also features AI companions or "KORS" that users can train to generate new music and album images. The company has also introduced a soft currency, "NOIZ," which can be used to purchase audio and visual content and music downloads.

The company is also partnering with Netflix's "Black Mirror" to launch a web3 experience. Pixelynx CEO, Inder Phull, revealed that the company is still figuring out its business model but has taken an equity stake in Reveal, a royalty-splitting platform, to provide artists and creators with transparency over royalties. Since its launch in May, over 10,000 songs have been created and minted on-chain by Korus users.
