A bad seafood experience in Cannes meant this reporter was unable to get to the Music Hack Day session on Monday, which presented the apps cooked up in 24 hours by a group of coders and music services. Thankfully, Evolver.fm is reporting on the 10 final projects. They’re ace. Dance Fight is ‘a real-time dance battle game with robots’; Double A-Side lets you flip songs when flipping over your smartphone; Geotracklist offers playlists by location; I’m A Big Fan is a way to bone up instantly on a band’s history, music and gigs; and Lyrics Hangman is… well, it is what it sounds.
