Celemony and its workforce

How Celemony came into being and who is behind it

In 1997, Peter Neubäcker began developing the idea behind Melodyne and in October 2000, together with his wife, Prof. Dr. Hildegard Sourgens, and the software developer and Technical Director, Carsten Gehle, founded Celemony Software GmbH, which is based in Munich. Melodyne was presented for the first time in 2001, at the Winter NAMM Show, and has won numerous international prizes both for its innovative approach and for its fantastic sound quality.

Today, the staff of Celemony totals more than twenty people. There are several tenthousand registered Melodyne users and the program is sold all over the world by local distributors as well as via the Internet.
