We need new ideas to support musicians and composers. A major problem is the lack of METADATA as well as the low quality of existing metadata. Because without correct metadata, artists won't get any revenue for their music. This Metadata Chaos affects not only music but also games, film, television, advertising and print. For decades.You are hackers, musicians or you are working in the creative industries? Do you have innovative approaches or ideas of which no one has thought? Possibly with a Blockchain approach? Well, you may almost consider yourself invited! With your prototypes, you can be the driving force to solve various issues. Music and digitalization are crossing boundaries. That's why we want to celebrate the Franco-German Blockathon to promote cooperation between technical and musical creatives from both countries and give room to European innovations.The Hackathon is organized by hack.institute and ContentSphere® and kindly supported by the Ministry of Economics, Innovation, Digitisation and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia. //// THE CHALLENGE \\\\ How can we support artists and all those involved in the creative process, to be able to make a living in a digital world? That's the key question. Because every single one of you is a member of the music team that is not to be missed. Therefore, everyone has to be paid: musicians and songwriters; producers, sound engineers, designers and photographers – but coders as well. It is essential for hackers and creatives alike to communicate and share their knowledge. The programming challenges, that might not be graspable for musicians at first, and that developers don’t see to be applicable in music are easy to understand when you cooperate. Shortly, we will provide a guide for participants which comes with some examples which makes it even easier. The selection of challenges can be roughly divided into five fields: the generation, validation and use of metadata, the design of concepts and workflows and finally the development of business models. For the experts among you: The challenges do not only deal with the information of a song or work (composer, lyricist, title, publisher, label, collecting society, ISWC, ISRC and more), which is usually referred to as metadata. Further informative data on media, artists or legal entities be used or generated. You can choose one of the following challenges or design it differently. We are also happy about crossover applications or entirely new suggestions. We are open and flexible for your suggestions! At the beginning of April, we will get in touch with you and invite you to Slack. There you can already form teams. Tip: It makes sense to research suitable APIs or data sources before the blockathon. First links can be found in the section GOOD TO KNOW under "Data". If you need audio or video files as test material, you can bring them with you. Suggestions Challenge 1 - Correcting Metadata Find an automated way to correct existing metadata, e.g. by comparing it with other metadata or sources. Examples for a manual method are Wikis or a platform like Discogs. Users compare registered data with those from their sources - in the case of Discogs with the information from their collection CDs, vinyl records or cassettes. Challenge 2 - Design of a multidimensional metadata model What can a multi-layered metadata model look like that specifies how reliable all data is? It is necessary to determine the reliability of all verifying third parties to assess the credibility of data. A reliability factor for data could be calculated from this and from possibly influencing factors (e.g. the setting of a studio recording vs a jam session). Challenge 3 - Generation of descriptive texts Create a tool to create lyrics that describe songs based on their metadata and the audio file. The text should be usable for press purposes (EPKs), social media and similar purposes. Challenge 4 - Recognition of used sounds and moods Create a tool to automatically recognize and describe the sounds and moods used in the song. The tool can be used, for example, for syncing or to program external devices (synthesizers, FX, plug-ins) based on the results. Challenge 5 - Identify suitable cover images Compare songs and their data with pictures and graphics and find suitable material for the design of the cover illustration. It doesn't have to be actual pictures; it can also be the style. Challenge 6 - Branding through songs Compare songs and their data with brands: Which songs fit a brand? The image of the brand, the corporate design or the product, for example, can serve as a basis. Challenge 7 - Matching Music and Video Develop an algorithm that identifies music that matches given movies or video clips (or vice versa). In addition to standard metadata of music and film, an analysis of the audio or video films is helpful (e.g. editing speed, editing type, changes in volume, image colour, brightness and contrast). Challenge 8 - Automatic music-to-film editing Develop a tool for automatic editing of music for a video. The identification of a suitable song is part of Challenge (7).  Challenge 9 - Concept of an improved metadata workflow Design the concept of a cross-company workflow that eliminates duplicate metadata and minimizes errors. It makes sense to limit yourself to a part of the life cycle of a song, e.g. composition to release. The restriction simplifies the detailed design. Challenge 10 - Concept for supported ingest and motivation during metadata entry The metadata chain begins with composers, musicians and studio personnel. How can metadata entry be simplified and automated for them and others involved in the production process? How can they be motivated to enter data? Please consider GDPR and the avoidance of a monitoring effect. Challenge 11 - Business models for musicians and other creative people How can a musician monetize data sharing and develop it into another source of revenue? Creative Passport is just one approach - what’s beyond? Metadata can change access to music through blockchain-based apps or APIs and UX design, and new revenue options open up.  Challenge 12 - Improving User Experience with Streaming How can you improve your streaming experience? With better use of metadata? Alternatively, through changed search and recommendation algorithms? What opportunities do you see? //// THE MENTORS \\\\ Fabian Beiner (COO @ hack.institute) Bosco Bellinghausen (CEO & Founder @ ALISSIA MUSIC) Stephan Benn (Head of Administration GLORIA Theater / Assessor Kanzlei Fleischer) Xavier Costaz (Director Innovations & Partnerships @ SACEM) Marie Gauthier (Freelance Full Stack Web Developer / CTO @ Resonate / Software Developer @ MOD Devices) Matthias Hornschuh (Composer, speaker, GEMA board member) Wolfgang Senges (Freelance Strategist, Innovation & Project Manager / Co-Founder of the German Blockchain and Metadata Workgroup in Music) Martin Wisniowski (Full Stack Developer @ Railslove / Musician / Media Artist) tba tba //// THE JURY \\\\ Becky Brook (Commercial Lead @ JAAK) Xavier Costaz (Director Innovations & Partnerships @ SACEM) Claudia Jericho (Leiterin Geschäftsstelle @ CREATIVE.NRW) //// DATA, APIs, STANDARDS, SOURCES \\\\ Please take a look at our website: www.le-blockathon-de-la-musique.squarespace.com We have constantly added more available links which you might want to investigate before the event. //// PRIZES \\\\ Gold Award: The winning team receives 1.000 €, donated by Board of Music.

Most importantly, please do only choose ONE ticket. Just go for the role that fits best. If you're a roadie who plays some guitar in your spare-time, order the ticket for musicians. If you're coding for fun, and you're helping out some artist friends with social media, then choose the consultant role. In case you already have ordered the multiple tickets, please contact us at info@hack.institute I'd like to order tickets for friends as well. How to do that? Please use the names of your friends and their respective e-mail addresses. If you are ordering multiple tickets using one name, we might have to cancel all but one ticket. In case you already have ordered the wrong way, please contact us at info@hack.institute Do I have to show my passport at the entrance? Nope. However, we need to check your valid ticket from Eventbrite. How do I get to the location by public transport? Your destination should be the station Köln-Ehrenfeld. From there, it's a walk of 900m. If you are starting at Cologne Main Station (Köln Hauptbahnhof), you can take the S-Bahn (lines 12 or 19) or various regional trains. By S-Bahn, it takes 5min to Köln-Ehrenfeld.   What can I bring to the event? Almost everything, and most of all yourself and good vibes ;-) Seriously, you can bring your hardware, beverages, and food. However, we provide catering for lunch and in the evening. Please, DO NOT bring any hard liquor or drugs. How can I contact the organizer in case of any questions? You may e-mail either info@hack.institute for organizational issues or wolfgang.senges@contentsphere.de for any questions regarding the challenges.
