Underwriting Roles

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Syntiant delivers processor, sensor, and software solutions for speech, audio, sensor, and vision processing. The company’s full-stack physical AI platform delivers ultra-low-power, always-on intelligence designed to sense, decide, and act autonomously in real time.

Syntiant Corp. is providing the underlying AI technology for Artist Included's platform, which has debuted a reimagined recording of Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" featuring Boy George. The track, distributed via BMG, is available now on digital music platforms worldwide, alongside a limited-edition vinyl release at Generation Records in New York City's Greenwich Village. Artist Included's technology platform is designed to help artists create new artist-owned recordings while participating in the future value generated from their work.

Syntiant's music-focused AI technology leverages advanced machine learning and audio processing to separate, restore, enhance, and support artist-recorded vocal performances. Its AI-powered audio de-mixing technology can isolate individual vocal and instrumental tracks from legacy recordings. Additionally, its voice restoration capabilities analyze and model the unique tonal characteristics, timbre, and expressive qualities of an artist's voice from earlier eras. By combining these technologies, Syntiant enables the preservation, enhancement, and creative reimagining of musical recordings.

"Syntiant is proud to provide the technology that helps power Artist Included's artist-approved approach to AI," said Kurt Busch, CEO of Syntiant. "The collaboration behind the reimagined recording of 'Karma Chameleon' featuring Boy George demonstrates what's possible when artists remain at the center of the creative process. With transparency, consent and participation, AI can help preserve musical legacies while creating new opportunities for artists and rights holders to connect with audiences in meaningful ways."

The reimagined recording is based on a newly performed studio vocal by Boy George. AI was used to support elements of the final production process but did not replace the artist. "Our goal was to build technology that supports the artist rather than replaces them," said Kristyn Jones, engineering director at Syntiant. "The artist's newly recorded performance remains the foundation of the process. The AI helps capture the tonal qualities listeners recognize while preserving the phrasing, emotion and creative intent that only the artist can provide."
