As usual, the Music Hack Day was brilliantly organised and thanks to all the organisers and sponsors who organised a great weekend!

Musicmetric decided to enter two hacks, which required a no-sleep 30 hour session trying to get them complete. The fruits of our labours are shown below, and you can read more about how they work by following the links:

Team: Greg, Trung and Matt:

Team: Jameel

Congratulations to Jameel for winning the Domino Records prize for his Justin Bieber hack! This generates music based on the Musicmetric trend data for any artist so check out the link above to listen to the results and find out how it was made.

We’re looking forward to the upcoming Music Hack Days.

We had a great time at the London Music Hack Day hosted at the lovely Guardian Offices in London. Thanks to Dave Haynes (SoundCloud) for organising it and thanks to Sun Microsystems for the free pizza and USB memory sticks!
