Music WorX brings together start-ups that are looking for new solutions at the interface of music and technology. The globalised music market, characterised by countless platforms and a constant desire for new experiences, is leading the four 2024 teams to focus on the topic of connections: between people, sounds and creative experiences. The teams VAULT, YMYR, Visuell and Trill show how innovation connects the world of music.
VAULT: Merging your own music collection
Spotify and Discogs, local audio files and analogue vinyl collections: your own music collection is no longer in just one place. Music creators, producers and other music professionals in particular are faced with the challenge of keeping track of their own sound library. The Danish start-up VAULT is tackling this problem by designing an application that allows professionals in the industry to organise their music collections across different channels and locations and discover new music. "It's very time-consuming to maintain your own collection as a music professional. VAULT helps with the organisation," says co-founder Johan Victor Ackerhans. This gives VAULT users valuable time back, which they can invest in their own creative projects.
Visual: combining visual and audio experiences
Fulminant visual art that is generated in real time to music - that's the promise of the start-up Visuell. With their creative idea, they enable musicians and bands, as well as museums and festivals, to make music not only audible but also visible. The five-member team is refining its idea in workshops and with targeted support from Music WorX to make it ready for the market. The aim: "We want to enable everyone to create live visuals easily and playfully," says Adrian Winter, developer at Visuell.
