Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Moodelizer operated in the audio technology sector, founded in 2012 by a team that included Mathias Rosenqvist, Carl Michael Herlöfsson, Bengt Sjölen, and Niklas Marelius. The company ceased operations in February 2025. The concept for Moodelizer originated from co-founder Carl Michael Herlöfsson, a Grammy-winning music producer and film composer with extensive experience in the Swedish and San Francisco music scenes. While working on film scores, he envisioned a more dynamic and reactive method for scoring film and mobile video.
Moodelizer developed a patented music format known as Dynamic Playback, which received a US patent and allows for the real-time modification of music. This technology was engineered to let users, including non-musicians, instantly control elements like style, intensity, variation, and tempo through various input methods. The core of the product was an audio engine written in C++ and made available through cross-platform SDKs for iOS and Android, enabling integration into other applications. The aim was to transform music from a static backdrop into an interactive layer, particularly for content created on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
The company's primary business model was B2B, targeting smartphone manufacturers, social media platforms, and content creation application developers. Moodelizer provided a modular system of APIs and offered support with development and content generation through a network of programmers and composers to facilitate the integration of Dynamic Playback into third-party products. By doing so, they aimed to offer a unique, personalized music experience for the end-users of their clients' platforms. Before it went out of business, the company had raised $2.17 million in funding.
