Justin Shave
Uncanny Valley Head Composer/Sonic Technologist
I am an Australian music producer and sonic technologist who works simultaneously across the TV, record and advertising industries. With a string of platinum records, I have helped artists and brands around the world find their sound and sonic identity. In recent years I have produced tracks for TQX and Sia, Darren Hayes [Savage Garden] and the Potbelleez.
I have performed around the world from Wembley to Moscow, consulted for music tech companies like Native Instruments [Berlin], Fairlight Instruments [Australia] and developed my own software synthesizers.
In 2010 I partnered with music, tech and commerce specialist Charlton Hill, to establish Uncanny Valley - a high end, music and sonic branding company that has quickly risen to prominence in both Australia and Asia.
We now harness our expertise and consult to major brands, agencies and broadcast networks, assisting them to deliver their unique sound and tone to the marketplace.
We are heavily focussed on technology aided solutions and sonic data acquisition, driving innovative solutions in the emotive, music and sound landscape. Most recently we collaborated with academics to create a generative music installation at the new School of Cybernetics, ANU.

Rage With the Machine - the future of augmented creativity:
What does it mean to be an artist? More specifically, what does it mean to be a music artist, composer, songwriter or music producer? How has the artistic process changed over time and what are the current and emerging technologies that are most affecting music creativity? The goal posts in the music industry are forever changing, hell its very foundations are borne of youth driven rebellion and disruption, so what does the future of music look like if the unchained flow of ideas, technology art and commerce is left to run free? In this ear opening SXSW session, Sonic Technologist Justin Shave and Uncanny Valley co-founder Charlton Hill discuss their pioneering foray into the use of AI and machine learning in the songwriting and music production process, give an overview of the latest break throughs in the use of the tools around the world and assess what's in store for the not too distant future.
