Student Develops Groundbreaking Technique for Searching New Music
Leon Aantjes launched Souned.com in 2016. It is a social music platform where users can upload their music and find it by using the map of the world. This new way of searching offers artists a greater opportunity to be discovered and users more possibilities in finding new music.
WIJNGAARDEN, Netherlands, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leon Aantjes developed a concept for the website during his college years. He found it difficult to discover new music and artists. After a bit of pondering on this issue he concluded the problem was that you need to know how new songs or artists are called to be able to discover them. But because you don't know how something unknown to you is called it is very hard to find new stuff. Even clicking through to related videos or songs wouldn't let you be able to explore every possibility, because related songs are often in the same genre you already know. One way was to accidentally type in something were upon a nice song appeared. Leon tried to figure out a way how to avoid all that. Leon wanted to create something that presents an opportunity for unknown artists to be heard to a wider audience and for music lovers to discover music in their neighbourhood or far away, within their genre, or something unexpected. The creation of Souned had started. It gives the opportunity to, without the default search box, find everything and anything in one swipe.
