This week on Digital Music Trends I chat with Martyn Davies (@martyndavies,\xa0Sendgrid) and Syd Lawrence (@sydlawrence,\xa0Twilio,\xa0Wemakeawesomesh.it) about\xa0Musichackday London\xa02012 which took place over the weekend of the 17th/18th of November at Facebook\u2019s HQ in Soho. This week it\u2019s well worth checking out the video version of the show as I\u2019ve incorporated videos of some of the demos to showcase the hacks that we ended up talking about.
Now in its 4th year, we start by talking about\xa0Musichackday\xa0at large, including the spread of the event worldwide, why music hacks are more fun, the mindset of the community, Facebook\u2019s sponsorship of the year\u2019s event (& thoughts on Open Graph).
Then we move on to specific hacks from the London event - below\u2019s a list of links including time they appear on the show - as well as lots of generic topics like the role of remix apps, status of Spotify apps, value of APIs, Radio and discovery, video-capture hacks and more...
