SLASH: REDEFINING THE WAY FANS EXPERIENCE MUSIC AND ALBUMS WITH MUSIC TECH APPS…

Posted on July 26, 2012

“In this day and age, if you can take music in a different direction and show people all the different facets of how music is created and performed, it makes the whole picture more interesting. That is our goal.” – SLASH

We’ve moved into the digital music era, but multimedia albums have neglected to make the transition into this new era as easily as singles. Technology has evolved to create opportunities never before possible, such as interacting with artists in a live setting.
