Rhythm Matching

Extract dominant cycles from sample matching via qft so musicians see rhythm and repetition that the ear or eye misses.

The hook.

full primer โ†’

A quantum frequency analyzer scans sample matching and surfaces the dominant cycles โ€” rhythms and repetitions musicians would otherwise miss โ€” as simple bars.

Why this primitiveQFT is the right primitive here because sample matching reduces to a periodicity / rhythm problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a Quantum Fourier Transform kernel that returns dominant frequency bins from a sampled signal
Drives the UI as
a spectral bars view that highlights dominant cycles

Market sizing.

TAM
$2.0B
the music software market (~$11B and music creators (~50M)).
SAM
$160M
the 8% of that market actively buying sample matching-adjacent software.
SOM
$10M
a realistic 6% capture of the serviceable slice in years 1โ€“3 via the hackathon launch and creator-led distribution.
