Master’s Thesis Opportunities at Hyph - Stockholm

Fields: Machine Learning, Music Information Retrieval, Signal Processing, Computational Musicology

At Hyph, we’re building the future of interactive music creation, a platform that lets anyone generate, remix, and reimagine music intelligently. We’re now opening a few spots for Master’s Thesis students who want to explore the frontier where AI meets music.

Example Thesis Directions

We’re flexible in shaping projects around your background and interests, but here are some areas we’re especially excited about:

  • Music Understanding: automatic detection of key, mode, tempo, sections, and structure from audio stems

  • Representation Learning: learning stem-level embeddings using VAEs or contrastive learning

  • Style Adaptation: adapting musical material between different keys and scales while retaining musical identity

  • Signal Processing Meets ML: hybrid approaches combining DSP feature extraction with deep neural models

What You’ll Get

  • Supervision from Hyph’s engineering team

  • Access to one of the world’s largest private dataset of professionally tagged stems and templates

  • The opportunity to publish, present, and deploy your work in a real creative product

  • A fun, fast-paced environment where music meets AI

What We’re Looking For

  • Background in machine learning, computer science, or audio engineering

  • Interest or experience in music theory, DSP, or MIR

  • Solid Python programming and familiarity with ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow)

  • Curiosity, creativity, and the drive to build something new

Based in Stockholm, but we welcome students from anywhere in Europe. For exceptional students we can make remote arrangements.
