Bacardi Makes Music from Austin’s Famous Bat Colony

Once a year, the South By Southwest music, tech, and film festival draws huge crowds of people from all over the world, sometimes contributing as much as a third of all of Austin’s revenue for the entire year. Last year (the most recent for which numbers are available), SXSW drew 155,000 people who “injected more…

Poll: Would You Pay for a Super-Premium Music Service?

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry released its annual global recorded music revenue report this week. Unlike the previous report, this one saw a decline in overall recorded music revenue by 3.9 percent, to $15 billion — mostly due to shrinking revenues in Japan that we totally saw coming. Over a billion of that…

Why Pono’s CEO Uses Spotify

Neil Young has been recording his music in the high-resolution music format that the PonoMusic store will sell for quite some time, according to what he told SXSW attendees last night. Many other artists and labels, however, have not been doing this, which will render Pono’s catalog of high-resolution music fairly anemic relative to other…

The List: Every Music Thing from the SXSW Interactive Trade Show

SXSW is a massive, massive event, but the SXSW Interactive trade show is quite manageable, especially compared to CES. As such, we were able to scour the show floor for every single digital music app, service, and device on display. Here it is — all the music stuff from the SXSW Interactive show floor, in…

SXSW: Music Punk Lets You See Who’s Playing Nearby, Literally

You have many options when it comes to apps that want to help you find live music to see, wherever you happen to find yourself. While it’s not the most comprehensive one we’ve seen, Music Punk has a big difference: It should you video of the bands playing live, so you can determine whether they…

SXSW: Meludia Makes Music Simple, Beautiful, and Easy To Learn

Playing music is fun — learning music theory, decidedly less so. To help people learn music theory concepts in a fun, pleasing way, Meludia offers a beautifully-designed series of little gamified classes, beginning with the ability to determine whether a melodic sequence is rising or falling, before proceeding to more complex stuff. “I’ll start with…

SXSW Video: Hackist’s ‘Tread The Moon’ Activates Music When You Run

Researchers say music can make you exercise harder. And, as the New York Times reported last fall, if you can create or affect music with your exercising, the exercising feels easier. The author of that piece suggests that this could mean “the human love of music might have evolved, in part, to ease physical pain.”…

SXSW: Rockstar Cash Aims To Help Bloggers and Musicians Earn Money Together

Typically, when bloggers write about a band, they’ll include a link to their music via SoundCloud or YouTube. According to the makers of Rockstar Cash, when they do, they’re missing out on an opportunity to make a bit of extra money. “It’s a platform where musicians and bloggers can monetize free music or writing a…

SXSW: Vulcan Harp Lets Trekkies Rock Like Spock

As every hardcore Star Trek fan knows, Spock played a freaky-looking instrument called the Vulcan Harp in four episodes of the classic television show, most notoriously in “The Way to Eden.” Now, they can play it. Star Trek Vulcan Harp ($2, iPad) was completed last summer, and by December, the app was ready for release, having…

SXSW: Kinoma’s Web-Friendly Kits Could Put Like, Ban, Skip Buttons on Your Walls

We eagerly await the moment when some enterprising hardware company builds service-agnostic buttons that you can stick on your wall, to like, heart, and ban your music without navigating through a bunch of smartphone screens or walking over to a computer like some sort of premillennial caveperson. That day has yet to come, but it’s…

SXSW: CoolNerd Kiosk Offers Free Smartphone Charging Plus Music, Movies, Ads

One of the most popular locations in any airport, or indeed here at SXSW itself, is the device-charging kiosk. People will contort themselves into uncomfortable positions and cozy up to complete strangers if it means a few more minutes of power for their precious, essential devices. Unlike what one might call “dumb” power kiosks, the…

SXSW: Internet of Cars Will Play Better Music, Advertisements

AUSTIN, TEXAS — The cars of today, and especially tomorrow, generate rivers of data that will change everything from how meteorologists understand the weather, to how towns identify their most egregious potholes, to — our favorite — how people will listen to music in the car. Over half of all music listening takes place in…
