The start-ups
At the Music WorX Pitch you will experience promising and innovative business ideas from the fields of music and tech. But it's best to see for yourself - these are the Music WorX teams:
Trill (PL)
Freelance musicians are always on the lookout for support - and can find it in future with Trill in the future. The trio of founders from Warsaw are developing a platform to connect independent musicians who are not part of established contractual structures with industry experts. The marketplace is designed to simplify the search for support for your own career. Mentors and coaches as well as stylists and bookers can be sought - and found.
Vault (DK)
Spotify and Discogs, local audio files and analogue vinyl collections: music creators, producers and other music professionals face the challenge of keeping track of their own sound library. The Danish start-up Vault is tackling this problem and developing a solution that allows professionals in the industry to organise their music collections across different channels and locations and discover new music.
Visuell (DE)
Visuell is a six-person team of artists, performers, programmers and designers from Hamburg who share a studio on the Elbe island of Peute. United by a passion for merging art with technology, the team is developing a unique video groove box: an intuitively playable visual instrument for performances, installations and workshops that can be operated without programming knowledge. Visuell will present its innovative concept to a wider audience for the first time at the Music WorX Pitch.
YMYR (DE)
YMYR wants to make visible what is close at hand. The start-up develops solutions to connect music creators and bands with a local fan base. Because although the music industry is a global market, many listeners still want a local live experience. With YMYR aims to give artists greater visibility and thus promote local music culture.
