Dreeemwave Wins Greece's 2026 Business & Innovation Award

We are delighted to announce that dreeemwave has won Greece's Business & Innovation Award 2026 by British Council. This highly prestigious award marks an important milestone in acknowledging the international impact of Dr Alex Stamatiadis' research in algorithmic music generation, and its realisation in state-of-the-art software such as Bassliner. It validates a vision that extends beyond mere technology, into breakthrough creation and application of scientific knowledge on how musical cognition works.
