Music Hack Day Amsterdam

What happens when you put together 150 developers and designers who love music in one room for a weekend? Then you have a Music Hack Day. On the weekend of 24/25 April we’ll organize one in The Netherlands, Amsterdam.

Companies such as 7digital, Echonest, Twones, RjDj, Last.fm, 3voor12, Songkick, SoundCloud will all be opening up their full API’s to the developers. Several of these companies will in fact be launching new API’s or extending their existing offerings especially for the event. Meanwhile workshops will be held by Steim and the TU Eindhoven – who will explore the physical realm of music.

The goal of the event is to rapidly prototype and build new projects, working through the night to complete them in time and present them on Sunday afternoon. A selection of prizes are then awarded by the companies to the teams who produce the best ideas using their API’s.

And to make Music Hack Day Amsterdam even better, we need you! Registrations are open, so if you haven’t signed up, now is the time to do so. Signups are going fast and there are only a limited amount of places available. You can sign up here.

Update: Music Hack Day Amsterdam was a blast! You can see the list of more than 40 hacks and prototypes here.
