We are joining “Entrepreneurs In The Digital Music Age” and “Music and Social Media” panels, both on the first day.

And finally we are announcing who won our first and much followed Spring contest: congratulations to the Belettes from Lille in France!

Some random quotes from the jury about the winning track: “The guitar riffs are great, reminds of Foals. Nice and tight.”
“A great potential player, I’d say.”
“Spring Break is a remarkably confident, often troubling debut that excels at both forward-thinking and good old-fashioned music.”
And here is the jury panel, that will eventually elect the winner of the fender Stratocaster for our first Spring Contest:

Today we are launching a new series of regular contests that will reward your music inspiration.
The first of them is the Spring contest, a competition without a specific theme where you just have to unleash your inspiration and record your music. The better it is the more likely to enter the final stage.
You have two weeks time from now, contest is open until the 6th of April, then you will have to support your track to make it one of the five finalists, more details on this very soon.
The shortlist will be submitted to a jury of artists and music professionals that will decree the final winner.
With Thounds for Android you can record your music inspiration on the go and share it to your friends.
And when you lack of inspiration you can discover lot of new tracks every day, coming from all over the world and with the most different influences.

If the answer is Yes, then we probably share the same urgency.
We’ve been missing a Music 2.0 event that brings together workshops, conferences, hack challenges and -you guess it- live music, and right now we want it so bad, we have already so many ideas how to set up a fantastic programme, lots personalities from the digital music industry are up to take part.
This takes money and we haven’t got any, can you help?
Please do donate and thus help us to bring you the first Thounds Day, a free event with Music 2.0 workshops, hack challenges, and live shows.
How does this crowd funding work?
You decide how much is okay to donate and that will be charged only if we reach our goal of 10K euro. Otherwise it will be refundend.
If you donate 30€ or more there are special rewards for you, including t-shirts, free drink tokens, etc
