Well both me and Johanna worked on research for several yaers
technological research and interaction design
I started to project musical interfaces since 2003
in particular to share music on mobile devices
after that I worked on other projects mostly about music
and then I met Johanna and we made some projects together
so we wanted to create a product useful for everyone and not only for some testing
at the beginning it was difficult
because it that field the attention is focused on what it's going to happen in 10 years
so we had to go back to reality
and develop a product for everyone
but in the meantime our experience
brought us to have a better understanding of the product
and we used it to deeply study the technology
so our work has a strong background
talking about ideas
we used to work in the music field because we love it
and we said: "it's hard to find new live music around you"
now it's long way easier to find
a cool brazilian band than 10 yaers ago
but it's complicated to simply discover events near where you are
so we said that you have to look for live performances
because it's there that you can discover new artists
We wanted to make this discovery of new musical events easier than before
which are not so big and not so expensive
At the beginning the idea was differrent
beacuse we wanted to let user upload music directly
but then we have decided to focus on live music
because of the potential it has right now
Many web projects about music have problems of copyright
and nobody knows how this field is developing
according to us live music will be a constant issue
and because of that we bet on it
