Detailed Description

During the II semester’s interaction design group project, the idea of Singo was conceptualised as a web platform where online real-time composition of music can be done among peers through social networking. But Singo was not strongly abstract rooted in actual needs and social structures of the music world because of the lesser time available then. The present project aims to bridge these gaps and to make the platform very intuitive for everyone to create and connect through music. The project started with extensive analysis of Singo with users and other stake holders with the aim of identifying t holders with the aim of identifying the gaps & opportunities in the concept. Regular screening of articles about music in well-known magazines and newspapers (Times of India, Hindustan Times & DNA—All Mumbai editions) was done to know the trends and needs to socially connect in the domain. Attending about seven Jam sessions and five concerts on the IITB campus, visiting a recording studio at Andheri, and having discussions with 15 stakeholders helped to understand the interactions and communication needs while creating and composing music. Experimental exposure towards music mixing software like Audacity, SoundForge, and Magix gave an understanding about mixing and editing controls required at a basic level.
