BIMM University celebrates a successful collaboration with DAACI

BIMM London recently hosted a special event to celebrate the end of its partnership with DAACI, an AI-driven music composition platform that has been working closely with students across all five UK campuses.  

What makes DAACI unique in the AI world is its ethical approach. Rather than training AI models on vast datasets of existing music, DAACI collaborates directly with musicians to refine its technology. This ensures that their AI serves as a tool to enhance human creativity rather than replace it. 

Over the past year, BIMM students have been using DAACI applications to help develop their software, contributing an astounding 5,000 hours of creative work. Through a series of in-person and online workshops, they submitted compositions, ideas, and experiments for the DAACI team to evaluate, receiving expert feedback, refining their creative processes, and gaining a deeper understanding of AI’s capabilities in music production. 

This closing event provided students with the opportunity to present their work and reflect on how tools like Natural Drums shaped their creative process. It also featured panel talks with both DAACI staff and students, discussing the evolving role of AI in music, the insights gained through hands-on experimentation, and how students’ contributions have influenced the future of DAACI’s software tools. 

DAACI also announced the upcoming release of their new mobile app, set to launch on 9th April. A member of the DAACI team provided a live demonstration of the app, showcasing its capabilities and potential for musicians.  

The partnership between BIMM University and DAACI has provided students with invaluable experience at the intersection of music and technology, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to navigate an industry that is rapidly evolving.
