Waves Vienna Music Hackday 2016

30 Sep + 1 Oct 2016, Waves Festival Centre @ WUK Vienna

The Waves Music Hackday took place for the very first time in 2015 and was a full success! It gathers people around music & technology, with very diverse backgrounds: whether you are a musician, artist, hacker, developer, thinker or hobbyist creator – join this hack day 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 – and build them on the same day! What you create is quite open - anything goes, as long as it is related to music!

A few examples:

  • create a new musical instrument
  • hack that new music app that you always wanted to have
  • make a platform to engage artists and audience
  • work on a musical performance
  • make an engaging tool for audience interaction at live concerts
  • combine software with hardware, hack those Arduinos, Raspberrys and Sonic Pi's
  • build on MusicBricks tools, combine & remix them to create something bigger
  • make wearable audible fashion
  • or simply create something mind-blowing that the world has never seen before ;-)

You may find some inspirations from theWaves 2015 Hackday and other Music Hack Days (but of course we don’t want you to copy those :-). There are prizes to win in several categories! Come and hack with us!
