#musictechla

Last night, I attended Hypebot’s quarterly Music Tech meetup at Rosewood Tavern in LA.  It was interesting to sense the different vibe compared to Europe’s take on music tech, and to not meet a single hacker/musician.  Had some interesting conversations and people starting up new social platforms for artists.  We’re definitely living in the era of social currency being used in interesting ways.  This movement fascinates me, I’m curious to see how this trend will affect the monetisation chain for all parties involved as it evolves.  

Also interesting to know, there is nothing like Music Tech Fest in LA.  Sad to hear about the nonexistent music hack groups.  I think it’s time to reignite with a transatlantic twist ;).  Will continue my search for fellow music techies and hackers to make my leapmotion project alive.
