About this event
The Waves Vienna Music Hackday goes into its third round!
Whether you are a creative person, musician, artist, technologically interested person, hacker, developer, thinker or hobbyist – join this hackday and meet other creative people to spin your ideas around the future of music & technology!
The spirit of the Waves Music Hackday is to get your heads together in teams to create new ideas around music – and build them at the same day! What you create is quite open – anything goes, as long as it is related to music!
What to hack? A few examples:
- create that new music app that you always wanted to have
- make a platform, tool or device to bring together artists and fans
- work on a tool to support musicians or musical performances
- realize an engaging tool for audience interaction at live concerts
- build on existing software tools and APIs, combine & remix them to create something bigger
- combine software with hardware, hack those Arduinos, Raspberrys and Sonic Pi’s
- build a new instrument
- make wearable audible fashion
- or simply create something mind-blowing that the world has never seen before ;-)
We will provide a set of software and hardware tools to hack with, but feel free to bring your own tools and ideas.
