Founder/CEO
CORPUS by Sofilab GmbH
Mathis Nitschke works as a composer, sound designer and founder of the CORPUS initiative (Sofilab GmbH, Munich) at the interface of music, immersive sound spaces and technology. With CORPUS, he is developing a training corpus for music systems as well as new models for collaboration and the use of creative content in digital contexts. This includes the tooling that keeps a catalog trustworthy: forensic analysis of audio files, AI and duplicate detection, verified rights metadata and deep semantic descriptions.
He knows audio forensics and restoration first hand: at Celemony, he is responsible for Capstan, the industry tool for removing wow and flutter from historical music recordings. As a composer and director he has created operas for Montpellier National Opera and for public urban spaces, and scored Michel Houellebecq's film debut.
His approach sees technology not as a substitute, but as an extension of creative practice. In his work, he combines artistic research with technological development and shows how new tools can contribute to expanding and rethinking creative spaces.
