Anthm App: Bring Musical Order to Your Parties
March 14th, 2012 |
Finding that perfect playlist to please the masses is a tough feat! We the user can utilize services like Myspace, SoundCloud, Grooveshark (and lots more) to keep us in-tune with an artists latest tracks, yet these communities don’t allow for collaboration. Anthm app is the first solution for passionate music lovers bickering over what music should be blasting.
Anthm was developed by Paul Thorsteinson from Calgary, AB and designed by Ben Myers (iamhabitat.tv), Paul Beaudry, and Tyler Johnston from Winnipeg, MB. The app is a 21st Century jukebox allowing users to create a party (aka playlist), invite friends to join this party and start sharing the task of creating a playlist. Once one or more people have been added to the playlist, everyone gets an up/down vote for each track. The songs with the most up-votes play first, and those with the most down votes play last. The concept is simple but the end result is an interactive musical experience for everyone linked into your party. read more
