MusikMesse - Launching neoScores - MusicXML Community Meeting & Nomination Data News Awards!

We are sending you this neoScores community update from MusikMesse, the biggest music and professional audio fair in Europe (Frankfurt, Germany). We are here all week so please stop by if you are around. You can find us in Hal 3.1, b12.

Needless to say that are bumping into the most amazing innovations on the level of instruments and music technology. We ourselves are constantly busy. Our days are fully booked with appointments with sheet music pubishers andmusic organizations. We also enjoy the countless unexpected and very inspiring meetings with developers, musicians, conductors and other stakeholders with whom we discuss digital sheet music.

Today, March 14, is a very special day for us! We are officially launching the neoScores web application, here at MusikMesse! Around noon journalists and partners will gather for the neoSores introduction in the Congress Center of Hal 5.1. Exciting!

Also today, at 2 pm, we will be hosting the MusicXML Community Meeting at MusikMesse. MusicXML is the format for music notation and digital sheet music that we use for the neoScores web application. About 50 developers from all over the world will be gathering here today to discuss the future of sheet music. We can’t wait to meet them!

And the good news show doesn’t end. We are nominated for the Data News Awards in the category ‘Start-up’. The Data News Awards are the most prestigious awards in Belgium for IT companies. We are very proud to stand next to IT giants like Microsoft, Deloitte, Accenture, etcetera.

With your help we might make it to the shortlist or even win this Award! You can vote by clicking on this link:http://acties.datanews.knack.be/default/acties/datanews/awards/

Before you reach our category, you will need to go through a few other sections. As it might be difficult for you to choose for the right companies (since you won’t know them all), we hereby offer you our voting advice (votes go to our partners). But of course, feel free to vote for the company of your own choice.

We hope to hear from you soon @neoscores®! 

Musically yours,

neoScores moves, and fast!

We're proud to announce that we have obtained a Registered Trademark, so it is neoScores® as of now. 

Furthermore, IWT (Flemish government agency for Innovation by Science and Technology) has decided to offer us a grant to further develop and optimize the neoScores® app, along with the first beta testers.

If you want to become a neoScores® beta tester... it is still possible! Just register here - it takes 2 seconds. It would also be great if you launch together with us through this Thunderclap (scheduled on January 31).

Finally, we’d love to share the view from our new office in Antwerp: a fantastic and inspiring view on a great city.

2014 will be our year! We hope you are as excited as we are about our upcoming beta launch.

Also, we will be present @Musikmesse in Frankfurt, so do stop by if you are there! You will find us in Hall 3 at Booth 12.

We are working very hard to deliver the best sheet music reader possible. If you want to be part of our little revolution, then please leave your e-mail here. That way we can co-create the app together with you. Your input is very valuable to us and we will implement all of your good ideas.

Get in touch with us via [email protected] or connect with us on Twitter or Facebook and tell us what you think the future of sheet music should look like!

We are leaving you with The Wiener Philharmoniker playing the famous Radetzky March. We wish to maintain this beautiful tradition for many years to come, but hope we soon can get rid of that old fashioned paper that they play from. :-)

...just very sunny music composed exclusively for neoScores?

By now you probably have watched the neoScores video. Did you listen carefully to the music that we used? Well, that music doesn’t come from an existing track but was composed especially for neoScores!

Composers & producers of the neoScores soundtrack belong to the top in their field and are our absolute favorites (next to Bach & Stravinsky): Jo Hermans & Wietse Meys!

Together with good friends/musicians from all over the world and our very own @JonasCoomans at the bassoon, they gave the best of themselves recording the sunny mambo soundtrack @MotorMusic.

Curious? Then take a look at this very nice Making & Recording Of video:

Credits and our thanks go to musicians Eric Baeten, Mark Steylaerts, Karel Steylaerts, Thomas Fiorini, Jonas Coomans, Jo Hermans, peter Delannoye, Wietse Meys, Leen Van der Roost, Amel Serra Garcia & Alano Gruarin.

Also a high five to Pieter Peeters, photographer & movie director, and to our friends from recording studio MotorMusic.

"Do you know what a social Thunderclap is?" When someone asked us that question a few weeks ago, we looked at him slightly amused. "A social Thunderclap? Never heard of, but it sounds like something eh …very loud!?"

Let us explain. A Thunderclap is a way to, at the same moment, announce an important event through social media channels with as many people as possible. The more people that support a Thunderclap, the louder it sounds! Participating is easy: you follow the Thunderclap-project of your choice, write down (using your own words) how you want to announce the event on your social media status, and ... count down all together until the Thunderclap erupts.

Why neoScores starts a Thunderclap? Well, the most important moment in our history is about to happen: our going live on 31 January! The start of digital sheet music revolution! ;-) And we would love to share that moment with you!

Become one of the first musicians worldwide to use the neoScores application on January 31. Our ‘beta users’ will be the first to discover how neoScores can make their lives as a musician easier. Early adopters will also help us to eliminate so called 'teething problems' that might occur when an application is used for the first time by thousands of people.

Do you agree that going live yearns for a huge Thunderclap!? Then quickly go to http://thndr.it/1cnQEEI and click on the 'Support' button. 

Already a nice number of people are following the neoScores Thunderclap. Social media reach currently counts up to 17.772 people! And it would be even greater if you could join us!

Would you first like to be remembered what neoScores can do for you? Then you definitely should watch our video that explains this in a very clear way. You can find it in the Thunderclap or on Vimeo. 

A big Thank You for your support. And now, let's erupt together!

Let’s start with a huge announcement!

After years of afterwork-hour fun, numerous bar visits and late night conversations, after our proof-of-concept a year ago together with @BrusselsPhil and @Samsung_BE, after a long year of intense programming, business modeling and getting ready to fly, we can now proudly say:

On the 31st of January 2014 , the neoScores beta application goes live!

Do you want to become one of our highly valued beta testers? Then leave your data here and be the first to find out what neoScores is about.

We are very interested in your opinion, so please let us know your thoughts on #neoscoreslive.

You can help us spread the word by Thunderclapping with us on January 31st. Thunderclapping is a fun way to share with your social media audience that digital scores have entered the 21st century and that you are part of it. You can find the Thunderclap on our website and here: http://thndr.it/1cnQEEI. We hope we can count on you to make it sound as loud as possible!

Furthermore we have finished off a very nice neoScores video. Check it out on our homepage or on Youtube!

We got your attention? Want to know more? Great! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Google+.

Looking forward to offering you the best sheet music reader on the market!

Musically yours,
