“We are very proud as a small Munich software house to be granted such a notable international recognition for our work,” said Neubäcker, receiving the award together with his three partners in Los Angeles. He also thanked the Recording Academy, the Celemony team, the company’s many friends and, of course, all the users of the software Melodyne. The virtual-analog concept belies the contemporary, cutting-edge sound it generates. In his acceptance speech, Peter Neubäcker alluded to his philosophical and mathematical background, explained his own, singular vision of music, and described the beginnings and the spirit of the company. MASSIVE is a sonic monster the ultimate synth for basses and leads. After all, Celemony has blazed open a radically new avenue of access to musical editing that for ten years now has made it impossible to imagine music production without it. Host and Grammy manager James McKinney opened with the legendary question posed long ago by Melodyne inventor Peter Neubäcker: “What does a stone sound like?” A truly philosophical approach to the world of sound technology, far away from the purely technical thought-processes that typically prevail in the industry, and yet it is for precisely that reason Celemony was chosen to receive this year’s Technical Grammy. The first of the Special Merit Awards to be presented went to the Munich software house Celemony. And perhaps also the strangest,” commented Melodyne inventor Peter Neubäcker.

I believe our company is the smallest ever to have received a Technical Grammy. “This is an honor none of us ever expected.

The highest award in the music business is given in recognition of “contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field” and is equivalent to an Oscar in the film industry. On February 12, 2012, we have been honored by the Recording Academy as the first German software manufacturer with a Technical Grammy.
