By Ruben Lone.

A new music technology hackathon is headed to Stockholm, Sweden in May. MIDI HACK, a day-long, 24 hour hackathon, will bring together a community of industry leaders, start-ups, software developers, hardware fanatics and musicians to celebrate the protocols and technologies at the foundation of analog and digital music creation.

The event will focus primarily on the essential frameworks of  of midi, osc, and cv, and how they can be implemented in creation, control, and performance. The event will include lectures and performances, though will mainly provide insight, guidance, and support to the 150 participants selected to attend.

“We want MIDI HACK to be a diverse event, therefore you’ll have to apply with your idea/vision/dream,” say event organizers Rikard Jönsson and Sebastian Höglund. Jönsson, who works at Spotify, runs an electronic record label called Jammerdosa, and Höglund is a filmmaker, developer, and student at the innovative Hyper Island school.  Sponsored by Ableton, Native Instruments, and Soundtrack Your Brand, the event will be held in the Stockholm Spotify HQ, with food, beverages, and hacker space provided.

Applications are open until April 13, 2014, and both individuals and teams can apply.
