Personal Problem:
I go on soundcloud, see my feed and when I press play the song starts too slow so I jump around until I find a part I can judge to my liking. This solves my problem and will use it everyday!
Market Problem:
GenY obsession with instant gratification, we go wide but not deep. By leveraging pre-existing behaviours i.e. swiping and social tags # @, this app is the ideal solution to a social and artistic problem in this always-on, interconnected and information-overloaded world. Allow people to discover music tailored to them quickly and easily, but also help deserving artists make it to the top since the crowd decides
Technical details:
Soundcloud API + custom algorithms allow users to fall onto the ideal part of the song (drop, chorus, fan favourite depending on genre) This is done by scraping the like times, music graph, comments, and creating a correlation with weight and basic heuristics to fall on the socially tested favourite. Then , ~3 seconds of beat-time is reversed to allow for slight buildup, and whole sample lasts 20seconds, (limit from 10kviews - 500k views and 100 comments - 8k comments) the goal is to allow someone to know if they like the song or not from 1st impression. Eventually on mobile, famo.us framework for interface, swipe left to pass, right to like. Max 10 likes /day to ensure people go enjoy their new playlist fully after. Learning and recommendations will emerge from swiping behaviours + piggybacking soundclouds api
Goal:
People discover new musin whenever, wherever, no loss of potential of people who give up in 1st seconds. Share. Also allow for new artists to emerge. Our deep down goal at Connected Brains. Emergence through collective intelligence helping the individual.
