Every film and TV show utilizes music — from Hollywood blockbuster to low-budget reality TV series and everything in between. Literally billions of dollars are paid in licensing fees and royalties for this music. Yet the current tools and methods for managing this process are antiquated, disjointed, labor-intensive and manual. This creates extra and redundant work for the many individuals and business entities involved, and results in lost and delayed revenue for composers, music publishers, and record labels. It can even lead to costly litigation due to inefficiencies and errors in tracking music rights.Qwire solves this problem with its collaborative, cloud-based process which streamlines the selection, creation and licensing of all music in film and TV, thereby improving the timeliness and ensuring the accuracy of music royalties and license fees. Qwire (patent pending) is in use by leading composers, music editors, and video editors on major television shows and films, including Parenthood and White Collar.

Liquid Notes is the world’s first intelligent music production tool: with the software having the knowledge of a professional composer for harmony, chords and scales, even an amateur can now make music that brings people to their knees. A professional can make complex changes to an arrangement with a few fingertips in real-time .. that hasn’t been possible before, and it enables finding new ideas rather than being stuck in a sequencer changing your arrangement one by one and in the meanwhile having forgotten the idea.
And, you can take your kid and have him / her play live to a piece on, say a MIDI-keyboard, which will sound perfectly flawless. Our software will simply correct the input in real-time and align it with the melody and harmony of the piece.Note: Liquid Notes is not a self-composing machine. You still need to have a basic understanding in music theory, otherwise it’s “garbage in, garbage out”, and it is you who puts together the emotional message of the music piece, not our software.

Flattr’s service makes it easy to support great web content online and for creators to earn money on their works without the need for subscription paywalls. We hope to incentivise sharing rather than punish it. Flattr uses embedded javascript buttons similar in style to Facebook “like” buttons but instead with money behind each click. Our service is free to join and users can both give directly to creators, as well as, receive funds on the content they produce. Each month flattr users decided how much funds (if any) they would like to contribute and at the end of the month those funds will be divided up equally between all the flattr buttons they click on across the web and then given out to those creators. For example, if a user decides to give out 10 dollars a month and during that time clicks or “flattrs” five “things” then two dollars will be sent to the owners of each thing at the end of the month. Flattr’s platform also allows for a pending payment or pending flattr that will be given to a creator once they sign up and link connected accounts, for instance with twitter, grooveshark, or instagram. Our buttons are dynamic in that if a user mouse-hovers over a clicked flattr button they’re given the option of sharing what they just supported, subscribing to flattr that “thing” every month for as long as they choice, or giving the creator a specific donation amount.

Nearly everything about how people consume media has changed thanks to technology. Now people can sift through hundreds of images per minute on Instagram, browse the lengthly Techcrunch headlines without interrupting the scroll, and condense their messages to whatever character limit is trending this year. But even in the face of this contraction, music cannot be squeezed. A song still must be listened to. That’s the fundamental reason why we created Whyd, a social music bookmarking tool to keep, play, and share all of the internet’s music from sites like YouTube, Vimeo, MP3 blogs, and Soundcloud, in one place, solving defragmentation of platforms to better enjoy music. It’s dead simple: add a track to your page from anywhere using the browser plug-in, organize your tracks into playlists, and play them all with no interruption on Whyd. Plus, every track added is a track shared, so music starts to get passed around very quickly for those who use Whyd for discovery. It’s like Pinterest for music, where you can find great tracks anywhere but put them in a convenient place to listen to and keep for later. Goodbye lost tracks and too many open windows, hello music freedom.
