Interactive Music Album
Music industry has been shaping the world for centuries. From classical music of Bach and Mozart in 17th and 18th centuries, to rap and pop songs of today, music is ever-present in our lives.
At first, musical notes were written down on paper, so that you could play them at home on your own instruments. Then, in 1877, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, which used tinfoil, and later – wax-coated cardboard to record sound. We saw the ascent of vinyl records in the early part of the 20th century, then came audio cassette tapes, followed closely by compact discs, and then, finally – digital files like MP3s.
All through history, musicians have been releasing their incredible albums through the most readily available sound storage medium of the time. But what about today’s emerging artists? At iApp Design, we believe that apps are the next media platform for independent musicians and music labels. Soon, you will find new albums being released as apps, which would also add a ton of interactive options to the overall experience and enjoyment of music.

What could be included in an app like that? It could be photos of the band or artist, music videos, behind the scenes videos, studio recording sessions, concert replays and so much more! Imagine being a part of a special members-only club and receiving a text message during a concert that gives you a special backstage pass… With proper design and execution, an app like this will put an artist in constant touch with their fans, ensuring satisfaction on both sides!
This way, artists can promote their new albums to a loyal base of followers, while these same fans are having a great time interacting with artists and each other in a very personal, unique way. We, at iApp Design, see this as the waive of the future – designing musicians’ apps that are unique and interactive. Each app is custom-tailored to reflect the vision and style of the artist, and at the same time – provides a cutting edge approach to reaching new horizons in the music industry.
