Sorted Sounds

Addicted to new music? Want to hear more tunes that sound like those you like? Then we have the perfect tools for you. Using music itself as the starting point for searches, rather than text, engineers are revolutionising the way in which we interact with music and come across the tracks that change our lives.

Meet the creators of Soundbite and mHashup, Sonic Visualiser and more at this interactive evening of sound sorting. They’ll be showcasing their work and inviting new ideas from you about where you would like to see these applications in use. Share your ideas with application developers directly and steer the creation of newer, better developments in software engineering.

How might these applications cross over into the music industry, and should they be commercial or free? Steve Gurevitz lifts the lid on the industry and discusses future possibilities with you before we wrap up with a DJ set from Ben Fields.

To make the most of this evening feel free to download one of the software applications we will be showcasing. Soundbite is an iTunes plugin that helps you create single click playlists. We’ll be asking you for feedback on your experience of using it at the event .

This event is supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering.
