Help us to bring you the Thounds Day

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.

For all the project info:

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

Sonar 2010, que musica!

85′000 people over three days and two nights is quite something, and being part of this year Sonar was exciting to the say the least.

During the day we have followed some very interesting conferences (Scott Cohen from the Orchard, Jakob Lusensky from Heartbeats International and Marc Cuevas Layers.com amongst others) and also showed Thounds.com on web and on iPad at our booth.

On Friday afternoon we were due to run our demo session, and we then introduced the public to our public API release (find the documentation here) giving the opportunity to developers to build their own app that interact with our data, putting the basis of customization and personalization of new services too.

Taking the cue from this we showed an advanced prototype of our forthcoming radio which is streaming public thounds according their tags.

And at late evening came Sonar de noche, that was huge crowds, live gigs, DJ sets and performances all around to enjoy some fun after the daylight efforts…

Some very good videos can be found here (cut by Sonar themselves)
