About the Company(musicxray.com) Come join an exciting and fast paced team that is revolutionizing the way that music artists ‘get found’. At Music Xray we deliver an ecosystem that is unique in the industry since it provides the best connection between music artists and their opportunities to make it big while also providing the tools needed for music industry professionals to find new quality music. In this ecosystem new and existing music artists are able showcase not only their music, but also their popularity on social networks, videos that they may have, fan feedback, vital information about them or their band, peer to peer trade counts of their music and much more. All of this is provided for free so that these artists can easily connect with opportunities in the music industry through a submission system that is becoming second to none. Simply put, Music Xray is a platform that enables most facets of the recorded music industry to operate efficiently and transparently and you will want to be part of this team as we continue to grow. Additional information about the technology: Artists upload their songs to Music Xray and their songs are easily transformed into a widget-like stack of customizable modules (Music Xray Song Application) that not only streams the song’s audio but also enables the artist to display (or view privately) other important data about the song such as lyrics, artist bio information, a video, license information and songwriter notes. In addition, artists can track their songs’ market potential in the form of blog and Twitter mentions, peer to peer traders and an artists’ traction on MySpace. The company will offer additional services for a fee. The platform also provides a place where artists can submit their songs to the music industry for consideration. Industry professionals are invited / recruited by the company (and are able to sign themselves up) and can charge a submission fee in exchange for promising to consider a song or even to provide feedback and career coaching to artists. No other company or website offers the level of direct interaction between artists and industry professionals as does Music Xray, making it a very attractive site for artists to upload, display and submit their music. In addition to the information gathered about a song, each song is analyzed by acoustic analysis technology (licensed by the company). This technology enables Music Xray to know which songs sound like other songs without having to actually listen to them all. Location Ability to commute to the North Shore of Boston.
