/// What is Clapstr?
Clapstr
[|klapster|] is a user-controlled online music platform that combines an outlet
for people to listen to and find music along with a social media aspect: it
links songs to emotions, events, activities and keywords.

The
project is a response to people’s continuous demand for music and desire for
new sounds. Clapstr aggregates search results into a single platform where users (the crowd) will determine the best association of a song with a specific
feeling. Songs associated with these keywords will then be displayed to other
users searching for the same word. The opinion of the crowd is evaluated
through votes, or how we like to call it “Claps”, testing the strength of the
link between keywords and songs.
It
is a pioneering project, enabling users to be able to search for songs that fit
their current emotion or activity precisely and listen to them instantly on any device
available. Clapstr aims to broaden the modes which listeners search for and find music. The team at Clapstr developed a complex algorithm which is able to
identify your current moods or feelings and play the songs you really want to
listen to, with the least possible amount of input from the users.
Clapstr wants to be the next generation of online music on demand, and will change the
way people search, listen and share music.
/// About Clapstr
We have been through a long process; from exhausting hours of
brainstorming, early concepts, to the development of the Clapstr algorithm and
several prototypes for the online platform and mobile devices. We wanted to
create a platform that can be used by everybody, regardless of age or
technological experience. A platform, which gives each individual the results
needed most in a particular moment. We
focused on simplicity, a neat design and a usability that is revolutionary. We now need your support to make this project a reality.
