DataMind Audio develops AI-powered plugins for music producers and sound designers, with a focus on neural audio synthesis and granular processing. The company was co-founded by electronic artist-programmers Rob Clouth and Ben Cantil (Encanti), entrepreneur Catherine Stewart, and CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski of Dadabots, the duo known for early experiments in generative neural-network music. The collaboration originated at DEFCON in 2022 around the idea of training neural networks on individual artists' sonic signatures.
The company's flagship product is Combobulator, a real-time neural audio synthesis plugin that lets users play "Artist Brains" — models trained on the sound libraries of specific producers — as an instrument. Other releases include Refractalizer, a multi-sample granulator, and Concatenator, a concatenative synthesis tool. Artist Brains have been released for producers including Mr. Bill, Rob Clouth, and Woulg, and DataMind operates an ethical-AI revenue model in which a share of plugin and brain sales is paid to the participating artists.
DataMind Audio's tools sit at the intersection of generative AI and experimental electronic music production, and have been adopted primarily by glitch, IDM, and bass-music producers looking for unconventional textural and timbral material.
DataMind Audio has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Granular FX Plugins.
