This isn't exactly new news, but if it got any press coverage, I sure missed it. At any rate, a number of ex-Ableton employees have started their own company called Bitwig, aimed at providing "next generation" music applications. Here's what they have to say:

"Within the virtual environment of a computer anything is possible, yet on a fundamental level, the way music is created today with computers is still very similar to how hardware studios were used. With an entirely new approach, we want to take the next step in the evolution of the computer music studio and create the music software we always wanted to use ourselves.

Bitwig is based in Berlin and founded by Claes Johanson, Pablo Sara, Nicholas Allen and Volker Schumacher. Our experience in the computer music software industry includes Ableton, where we were all part of the development team behind the successful music software Live, and Vember Audio, creator of the critically acclaimed software synthesizer Surge."

Alert readers may recognize the name Claes Johanson as one half of the band Burikusu!!!, who also happen to be signed to the record label I run

L'actuel CEO de Bitwig ne craint rien sur la "propriété" du code

When asked asked if they’re concerned about legal issues arising with Ableton, Placidus assured us that the Bitwig Studio team wrote all the code themselves and that they don’t think they’ll be sued- but he was careful to note that he couldn’t tell for sure that it won’t happen.
