“Time flies when you’re having fun”. Or so they say. Well, maybe it does, and maybe it doesn’t. It certainly feels like ages ago: our birthday, Eurosonic Noorderslag, Jamuary, the annual Gado Gado Party and Electrosonic. That’s why, one last time, we’re looking back at January—a month full of partying.
Five years of Chordify. Are we really that old? Yup. Did we celebrate our birthday? Of course we did! During the whole month of January we partied hard and did whatever we could to share our success with our followers.
Electrosonic: Chordify Birthday Bash
Together with our friends Peripheral and DATmag we threw a birthday bash in the Music & Tech Hideout during Eurosonic Noorderslag. We dubbed it Electrosonic, because what else would you call an event that consists only of electronic live acts?
With FENN, Stahlr and FLCTS on-stage the party was a big success. Video artist HACHE walked around and captured the atmosphere on his VHS camera. Check his after movie above.
Eurosonic Noorderslag Panel and Gado Gado Party
During the conference of Eurosonic Noorderslag (the annual showcase festival of the European music industry) Chordify hosted a panel discussion on Computers vs. People in Music Creation. Can artificial intelligence replace a human producer? Colin Benders, Matt McVicar and Tjeerd Bomhof debated this theme with our CEO Bas de Haas as moderator.
Of course, the showcase festival closed with our annual Gado Gado Party. Together with our friends from Buma Music Meets Tech we invited the acts Ohslo, Broken Brass Ensemble, San Dollar and Black Dynamite Soundsystem. This resulted in a lovely evening of food, drinks and dancing. Check out the after movie made by Natalia Sliwowska.
Jamuary Contest
In addition to all the festival noise, the entire month of January was marked by Jamuary. A contest where you could win great prices; ranging from Chordify Premium annual subscriptions, to a NEXI Rockstarter pedal board.
