Moments
With the expanding growth of music streaming platforms and subscriptions, listeners around the world use music as a way of expression and personal enjoyment. However, there are flaws within the music recommendation algorithms which recycle oversaturated content, lack transparency, and have innate popularity bias. Our app, Moments, aims to combat restrictive algorithms by giving users autonomy in the music discovery process. Through profiles and a map interface, people can discover and share music in an organic way by exploring others' music tastes around them. But that's just our Moment, what's yours?
