Less recap, more room
I do not want the recap to flatten what happened. I want it to leave the edges in.
Music Technology Hackathon · BostonBoston, MALive
A weekend music-technology hackathon in Boston (June 2026) where artists, builders, and researchers prototype new tools for listening, archiving, and creative memory — documented live as it happens.
Live Listening Metadata Tool screen
A mock listening room where timestamps, reactions, stems, and contributor notes attach to moments in a track.
Audio reflection: metadata after the track
A 42-second reflection about how liner notes became invisible and what live capture could restore.
Whiteboard: memory map sketch
A photo from the corner wall: arrows between lyrics, demos, contributors, and timestamps.
Artist Story Agent
A conversational layer that helps an artist turn raw career moments, release notes, and fan questions into a living story graph.
Opening energy
The room split into two instincts: preserve the story of the day, or build tools that make stories easier to keep alive later.
The archive as an instrument
The room is making more than demos. It is making context, and that context is usually the first thing we lose.
