Hack Out West: Trivia, Cover Art Doodling, Group Listening, and More

Invisible Instruments Seek Visible Funding

It takes a lot for us to post a cover of Bruno Mars’ omnipresent, saccharine, generic (we could go on) pop anthem, “Just The Way You Are.” But hey, to each his own — and this is a music app blog, not a music blog. With that in mind, we just had to give props to the…

Free, Clean, Cloud-Based Music Locker Ymitri.webmusic Deserves a Better Name

If you’re looking to upload music from your computer to the cloud so you can access it from your other computers, you may have just found your answer — as unlikely as it might sound. The name “Ymitri.webmusic” does not exactly roll off the tongue, but after a day of testing, we’re happy to report…

Youzakk chooses the best music for any venue using FourSquare, Hunch and Spotify

DJs, Venues Can Pick Best Music Based On Foursquare Check-Ins

The art of DJ-ing a club or even choosing a playlist for a local restaurant or bar is not just about making yourself happy — it’s mainly about factoring in the predilections of the clientele. After all, nobody wants to choose a track that clears the dancefloor or has a venue’s customers reaching for their coats. Youzakk…

AutomaticDJ music hack day new york

Automatic DJ Creates a Personalized Playlist Based On Your Face. Really.

Digital music is already a remarkably easy thing to consume, as far as entertainment goes — or anything else for that matter. It’s pretty much everywhere you look, so long as you only look at things that have screens. But when it comes to providing a “lean back” experience, meaning that the consumer is left…

Beat Parade Spins Short-Attention-Span DJ Sets from a Single Song

The creation of Columbia University grad students Gene Kogan, John Gallagher and Thierry Bertin-Mahieux, Beat Parade (still in development) weaves 30-second music samples, which are generally legal to play without getting a license, into one continuous beat-matched DJ set. Yes, much as Watson has been pwning humankind on Jeopardy these days, computers are able to…

Gridsong Makes Music Libraries Pretty Again

In the shift to digital music, album artwork has generally been lost in the shuffle — literally. Reversing that trend, the Gridsong web app from Jeremy Sawruk and Will Mayo (still in development) puts the artwork for the currently-playing song front and center in the middle of a grid, with a selection of related album…

ChatMusic Turns Facebook into Music-Sharing Network

The above demonstration isn’t the smoothest we’ve ever seen, but the technology it describes is powerful. ChatMusic.me turns the already-potent combination of Facebook and YouTube into an even better way to share tunes with your friends. A Google Chrome Extension created by Jukata CEO Eyal Fishler and Ness Technologies systems engineer Yuval Pinker at Music…

With Screaminator, Only iOS Can Hear You Scream

Uri Nieto created a simple app at Music Hack Day New York to answer a simple question: Are you screaming, or not? Record any sound into this as-yet-unreleased iOS app for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and the app measures a various scream-indicating audio attributes (the standard deviation of the spectrum, the wave form’s centroid, and the number of…

Callaboraoke Lets Each Friend Sing a Line, Shares Result

One of the many great ideas to emerge fully-formed from Music Hack Day New York, Callaboraoke automatically splits songs onto segments, inviting groups of friends by email to sing each of the lines of the song via cellphone. The service records them doing so asynchronously (i.e. whenever they get around to it), then stitches their…

Music Hack Day NYC: Web Browser Controls MOG on a Television

Televisions are set to become the next killer app platform, following the mobile phone and the tablet, because it’s big, centrally-located within the home, and usually connected to the best speakers in the house. Music service MOG is one of many companies looking forward to consumers paying for music subscriptions for playback on their surround…

The Music Hack Day series, which brings together software ninjas, hardware geniuses and powerful databases to build hundreds of functional music technologies in the course of a single weekend, landed in New York this weekend for a sold-out appearance in Manhattan’s flatiron district on Saturday. Already, the crowd is hard at work. Over two hundred…
