Christoph M Musialik has joined MAAT Incorporated as Chief Technology Officer.
Dr Musialik is an active member of the AES, IEEE and Computer Music Society, and is also the Chair of the AES’ Technical Committee on Signal Processing – receiving Fellowship Award for achievements in the development of digital audio algorithms.
In 1979, Musialik was recruited by Siemens to work on new processor architectures and computer speech I/O technologies. Later, he joined the Studer-Revox Group, where he was responsible for benchmark DSP projects and technological strategy. His contributions significantly influenced the design of Studer’s first Dash multitrack digital recorder and broadcast digital mixing console. Subsequent stints as Technical Director with the Swatch Group and DAW company CreamWare led to the founding of his own professional audio company, Algorithmix. Prior to joining MAAT, he was MD at Sennheiser Audio Labs, as well as Manager of Sennheiser Audio DSP Competence Center.
‘Taking responsibility for the technical orientation of MAAT’s future, I’m happy to be at the forefront of creating new benchmark–quality tools while concentrating on cutting-edge audio algorithms that combine the finest DSP mathematics with psychoacoustics and artificial intelligence,’ he comments. ‘This also gives me an opportunity to keep alive the tradition of legendary audio processing algorithms from Algorithmix. Our mission at MAAT is to create outstanding music production tools that automate and optimize the process of engineering, with not only the best possible audio quality but also a measurable increase in wellbeing in the brain of listeners.’
‘In the [seven year process] of getting MAAT underway, bringing Christoph on the team is beyond my wildest dreams,’ says Friedemann Tischmeyer, President and co–founder of MAAT Inc. ‘His qualifications really are exceptional. For 15 years, I’ve been a hardcore user of all his Algorithmix gems, and am so happy that his joining MAAT brings him back to direct interaction with the pro audio community and his roots. All of us at MAAT look forward, with his help, to entering new fields such as 3D object–based audio for VR and AR, as well as building more glorious implementations of his thinking in the future.’
