Music Hack Day throws up some nifty music-tech mashups
This weekend saw Music Hack Day in London, where a bunch of programmers met up to meddle with the innards of some popular music sites. A full list of the results can be found via this link, but some of our faves are below:
iPhone Music Visualiser downloads tracks from SoundCloud, sends them to The Echo Nest for analysis, and then plays them with a visualiser
Pix n Mixer beatmatches three songs from your hard drive and then splits them into bars, which you can then jam together in different ways
MakeMyMixtape asks you what genre you like, then whizzes up a mixtape featuring the top artists from it
This hack mashes up 7Digital and The Guardian, to search a website for known music artists, then adds links to streaming MP3s and music news.
The event, which was organised by SoundCloud UK’s Dave Haynes, sounds like it went swimmingly. Hopefully some of the good ideas dreamed up this weekend will be developed further.
