We are on a mission
to transcribe all music
ever recorded 🎼

Over the years we have become frustrated with the state of the sheet music ecosystem. Our guitar teachers had to transcribe the songs we wanted to learn themselves before we could start the actual lesson. Scores that we sought when practicing did not exist, were incomplete, missing the most crucial instruments and solos, or were outright incorrect. Some of the complete scores were paper scans stuck in PDF formats, depriving us of the possibility to play back the score and slow it down on the computer like we have gotten used to with Guitar Pro. Letting computers digitize these scores turned out to be surprisingly difficult. The available digital scores we did rely on disappeared because of website server failures, or because they were taken down. Even official store-bought sheet music was often not true to how the artist would play it.

When composing our own songs and in need for inspiration, there was no way to query existing scores for sections in a particular key, chord progression or any other contextual element. Then, when our bands pooled money together to get transcriptions produced to play covers, no open markets existed at all that allowed spreading the cost of transcribing over a large (unknown) group of people. A perfect transcription costs €900 for an average song. That's too much for individual musicians to afford on a continuous basis. Transcribing music is hard for humans, and even harder for computers. No wonder that qualitative scores are so hard to come by!
