Music Intelligence for a transparent and fair music ecosystem

understanding music usage at its core

From raw music inputs
to structured, rights-ready data

We interpret music usage across real-world audio, handwritten records and fragmented metadata. By using audio intelligence, document digitization and rights-aware structuring, we transform raw inputs into reliable data that powers copyright workflows, reporting and distribution.

Music Recognition

Identify music across any environments

Our multimodal music understanding platform analyzes live, broadcast and platform audio to identify works, versions, covers and derivative signals even under noisy, mixed or short-clip conditions.

Document Digitization

Digitize setlists and cue sheets at scale

We transform paper and digital setlists, cue sheets and usage logs into structured, validated data enriched with metadata and prepared for downstream reporting, rights management and workflows.

The Core Intelligence behind every nowon Product

At the heart of our platform lies our Music Recognition Engine. A Music Information Retrieval-driven system purpose-built to identify musical works, versions, covers, reinterpretations and derivative signals across real-world audio.
It interprets complex acoustic environments, handles noisy or mixed recordings, detects short excerpts and aligns recognized material with rights-relevant metadata such as ISWC, ISRC and repertoire information.

Whether embedded via SDK, deployed through API or used inside our whitelabel app, the engine provides consistent, rights-accurate music intelligence across every usage context.
