Collaboration is one of the bigger trends in music-tech startups this year, with various early-stage companies building services to help musicians create music together remotely.

The latest example is Muse, although it already has some momentum. Styling itself as ‘Zoom for musicians’, its early users have already spent more than 25m minutes in sessions on the platform.

Muse’s technology works with various pro-audio products, with musicians able to share files and screens with one another and producers for truly-remote recording sessions.

The company also sees potential for its service to be used for virtual songwriting camps, A&R listening events and for artists to watch engineers mixing their sessions.

“Most people creating music today aren’t in the label ecosystem with access to resources and studio spaces,” said co-founder Austin Dunn. “We are proud to build an infrastructure designed specifically for artists that gives them the tech they need to thrive.”

This demo gives a taste of how the technology works:
