MusicTech Rewinder - Lots of AI news, streaming, sync, metadata and music for wellness

Hi,

it's Friday again but before you dive into this week's music tech news, I would like to shine a light on a wonderful project from a friend of mine which shows how technology and outside-the-box thinking can be used as a tool for empowerment.

Check this video in which people with different disabilities show off their rap skills with the help of a truly loyal and engaged community and a variety of tech devices.

And then, enjoy reading the news and have a fantastic weekend.

Cheers,

Matt
