“We can create some [music] together. It lets the listener be interactive with the music. Especially at a time like this when you got bloggers that have something to say about everything gone on. … This let’s the consumer do the same with music. It allows them to remix it and do it themselves.”
“We let [Artists] connect to [their] fans in new ways. ZOOZbeat allows you to get your favorite music from your favorite Artists and make your own version. Personalized it,” says ZOOZ Mobile Founder and Chief Technology Officer Gil Weinberg.
“I really like the new ability to remix and reCreate songs,” says ZOOZ Mobile Lead Engineer Mark Godfrey. “It lets you get in and explore songs instead of just passively listening to them. You can see what they are made of; all the different parts and re-arrange them and make them your own. It’s pretty cool.” says ZOOZ Mobile Lead Engineer Mark Godfrey.
The CNN story goes on to quote Gil: “You don’t have to have a lot of money, and you also don’t have to have a lot of experience in music to be a [ZOOZbeat] iPhone musician. We will help you experience whatever level of creativity that you would like.”
