With a driving passion for music and mobile, Gismart (http://www.gismart.com) announces they have joined in partnership with First International Online Jazz Competition (http://www.madeinnyjazz.com) to benefit the participants to create the future of jazz music.
Next year's event will announce a special
category where participants could enter the competition using music
applications created by Gismart such as those already widely used by
professional musicians. “I believe the Jazz industry should follow
technology trends in order to stay relevant,” says Misha Brovkin,
Founder of Made In New York Jazz Competition. “The sky is the limit in
terms of promotions, features, and functions that we are able to offer
our community.”
Music apps aren't just for streaming anymore.
According to a recent Yahoo Finance story, 'The popularity of music apps
among smartphone users increased at an unexpected rate in June this
year'. It seems that streaming services drive the market, however, music
making is the upward trend. According to an article at Synthtopia.com,
iOS devices have overtaken the sales of Windows base computers stating
that 'The number of musicians using mobile devices as their primary DAW
is likely to continue to grow. In the last five years, many musicians
have gone from considering mobile devices toys, to using them as
significant tools for things like patch creation, synthesis, MIDI
control and more. Musicians are now beginning to use mobile devices as a
‘mobile DAW’, for things like beat-making and capturing ideas'.
Gismart has been producing high quality music
apps available on Googleplay, in the iTunes App store, on Amazon.com and
YouTube for the iOS and Android platforms for over four years. Apps
such as Real Guitar, Real Piano, Real Drums, and Real Metronome.
“We are very excited about bringing these two
creative worlds together for the first time,” says Gismart
representative. “We feel that this partnership has the possibility of
opening doors to many people across the globe who would other wise not
be able to participate and in turn offer the world new creative outlets
in music never before seen on such a large stage.”
The competition is open online now.
Participants need only register their projects and upload them on the
page provided. Once the project video has been approved, the participant
can complete the registration process.
