In 2013 Filmstro became frustrated by the inherent challenges that occur between musicians and non-musicians when communicating about music. The conversation between a composer and a creative media professional is typified by a clash of vocabulary that makes briefing composers a vague and sometimes frustrating process - for both parties.

Music technology - specific tools for music producers and composers - had been steadily evolving with additional time-saving features built into many plugins and software instruments.

One of these was a common feature based on an XY pad that would allow for the manipulation of sound across 2 variables (the X and Y axis).

Taking this idea to its logical conclusion, the team behind Filmstro wondered if it would be possible to manipulate an entire piece of music and separate it into its constituent parts so that they could accurately label each part with a new language for music; thereby allowing a conversation to take place that would help non-musicians describe music, by using art-terminology instead of music terminology.

When the team started speaking to producers, directors, agency creatives, and other professionals, it quickly became apparent that they'd stumbled on something that might have a commercial application.

So, Filmstro was born and the team started working on making this a reality in late 2014.

The team designed the very first piece of technology to work on iOS - specifically on iPad - and it was a fantastic experience as one could move all three sliders simultaneously and have a lot of fun and control over the music.

However, at the time, there were very clear limits to what kind of editing functionality they could offer for iOS (and web audio was in its infancy) so the team decided to build the product for more powerful desktop devices.

The team raised some seed money and dedicated 2015 to building Filmstro V1 with a core team of three people.

In 2016 the team raised some more money, took on proper premises, hired a team, and started telling the world about Filmstro!

At launch, they were also the first stock audio provider to offer content with a subscription model; something that has now been adopted industry-wide.

Since its launch they've been honored to help thousands of content creators tell their stories with music. They've also had the pleasure of working with some wonderful partners over the last several years, including iris nation, Adobe, Apple, Unity, Unreal, Cinema5D, FilmRiot, and many others.

7 years in, the team behind Filmstro is now going back to its roots to deliver one unified core product that will offer Filmstro's unique adaptive music format directly in the browser.
