Do you constantly wish that existing music tech solutions did something more than they already do? Are you often lost in thought wondering if there was a piece of tech that could do the craziest of things with music that you could come up with? Well, this is a chance to put your creative minds to work on bringing just those ideas to life!

Agenda: The hackathon starts with an introduction to the event and guidelines, followed by presentations by our chosen mentors, who will help participants with their ideas and questions. Participants network with each other, brainstorm, form teams and start building their projects. Workshops and Resource sharing sessions will be organised throughout the day so we can help support your ideas and learn from each other.

Winning categories of the hackathon will be announced at the event.

Winning hacks will get exciting goodies and a chance to present their hacks on the main stage on Jan 19th at ADCx India 25.

Workshops

Feel free to bring your laptops, hardware or any other additional accessories that you might require (not compulsory) for hacking~

Remember, asking for help is more than okay! Our organizers and mentors will be delighted to help you explore and build on your ideas.

All the IP/ownership of ideas and works done by the hackathon participants solely lies with you, the participants.

We welcome artists, musicians, designers, engineers, coders, hackers and people at all different skill levels to work together to bring out the best ideas at this Music Hack Day! We hope to see you there at Indian Music Experience Museum, Bengaluru from 17th to 19th Jan 2025!
