Hey readers!

I am back with another post on one of the companies at the TechCrunch50. This very cool company is called Bojam. Bojam is a very cool service for musicians. Bojam seeks to have musicians from around the world collaborate in music creation over the internet. Their technology allows users to record music and vocals in separate tracks, at separate times and enables them to mix it at a later time into a complete song. You can even use this system to learn music because no only do you get to hear the music and stuff from other people, but it is video enabled too, so you can watch them play the notes for the music.

I’m not sure if I am doing this service justice with my short description, but that is how I understand the service in a nutshell. Instead of having to search your local area to find somebody to play an instrument on a song, the service opens things up so you can have any musician around the world collaborate with you, even big name musicians. There was no evidence of any big name musicians on the site, they just stated it was possible. The service seemed a bit buggy during the presentation but extremely powerful with what you can do given the fancy editing tools. Users can of course take the music the create and sell it as they choose. With anybody able to collaborate on a song, this is almost like the Wikipedia of music creation.

I still have questions about the business model and legal issues that I am not real clear on, so I am not going to go into that.

This seems like a really cool service for musicians and I look forward to seeing the music projects that come out of this service. If you are a musician, this is definitely worth checking out as it could be a great tool for you.  Below is the presentation of this new product.

I will be back soon with more of my thoughts on the many companies that presented at the TechCrunch50 Conference.
