Technology provides opportunities for different sectors and businesses, including music. Here are some examples of creative ventures in music:
It is an application that encourages people to learn the instrument of their choice. Therefore, virtually the user has his own band, he can choose the accompaniments, it contains sheet music assistance so that he can play at the same time as the band. In addition, a video of a professional musician playing the song can be played, and tutorials explaining how to play the song can be consulted. Finally, the application has repertoires of jazz, blues, and classical music adding up to more than 150 songs.
Song kick is an application in which you enter your favorite music artists, and the application tracks nearby concerts in the same city or nearby of the artists of interest to the user. The interesting thing is that the application is linked to Spotify so it is a matter of logging in to Spotify and thus automatically generates the list of artists of interest. In addition, in the same application you can buy tickets for events.
It is a physical platform and it is also in the cloud, it is ideal for music collectors, who want to protect their collection but at the same time keep it available to the public. Therefore, a collector sends his cassettes, compact discs, or vinyls to Murfie, who takes the material and converts it to digital format with the best quality and the user can listen to his music through the application at the same time that Murfie stores the music in a warehouse in the best conditions. The user can request the collection back at any time.
Stage it is a platform for online concerts, where the audience buys tickets, tips the artists and interacts with the artists by chatting with them. Artists decide what to perform, when to perform it and how much to charge for tickets. Broadcasting takes place from the artist's home, backstage or in the studio where the artist is located. The transmissions are live and the user can access the transmission from anywhere. It is a personalized concert experience.
In this app, a member of the community proposes a concert with a specific artist. The members of the community are added so that the winning proposals have a higher probability of being realized. The concert is planned and people through the platform buy their tickets, if the number of tickets required for the concert is reached before the deadline the concert is performed. Otherwise, all the people who bought the ticket receive the respective refund. This is an excellent opportunity for fans and artists, who no longer depend on production companies to make a concert a reality.
It is a company that creates digital synthesizers with touch screens in which through an attractive interface users can create music in an application with dozens of modules, instruments, effects, modulators and controllers. What makes Reactable different from other similar apps is that it incorporates physical control objects that in interaction with the screen parameterize a particular effect. They come in different presentations such as Reactable live! Which is a whole structure in the form of a table on which all these physical controllers are managed; another version Rotor is a simpler alternative that works with the ipad, among other alternatives.
Stereofox is difficult to define, even the creators themselves are not clear about what Stereofox is. It started as a website where music was shared to help artists to make their music known. Today it has created a community where you can find music recommendations, interviews, album reviews, among other content. It is noteworthy that Sterofox is maintained through crowdfunding and some items are sold, such as bags, stickers or T-shirts as a symbol of belonging to the community.
