To be an aspiring musician is a very difficult thing. There are so many record labels and mainstream artists out there that it might seem like you’ll never be able to break through.
Even platforms dedicated to giving attention o the smaller music makers of the world, like SoundCloud, are already deluged with artists both big and small.
In 2018, the music scene is both extremely accessible, yet infinitely difficult to become noticed in.
WaveStation seeks to save the newest generation of musicians from obscurity, by providing them with a new platform to share their music and build a following.
In WaveStation, artists can create their music and build a following through social media, thanks to the ability to effortlessly upload music and display it to the world.[sc name=”quote” text=”In WaveStation, artists can create their music and build a following through social media, thanks to the ability to effortlessly upload music and display it to the world.”]
Music is classified both by its specific genre, as well as its locality to the user. This means that, for a new user on WaveStation looking to find new and interesting artists, it will not only display new music based on their interests, but also on their location.
This location based system means you can become apart of your local music scene in an almost dating app-like system – musical artists can gain local followers, and local music lovers can gain new musical favorites.
The app’s ascetic is intricately fitting; it is simple and white, with clear accessibility and separation between music tracks. It feels very much like you’re browsing through a library on Spotify or any other musical library.
Only, instead of looking through a variety of songs you already know, WaveStation lets you come into contact with a plethora of new and undiscovered artists.
One very interesting feature of WaveStation is the ability to locate nearby listening parties. It provides you with the location and date and time using seemingly user generated information. This allows you to find the hottest music events near you on the day, letting you stay on the pulse of the local music scene.
Unfortunately, due to the nascent potential of WaveStation, it is still rather unpopulated by artists and users. However, even Spotify started with only the developer’s friends, so all that WaveStation needs to really excel is a growing userbase.
If you’re a struggling musician who desperately wants to have their music seen and heard, or you’re just a person who appreciates new music, WaveStation offers the opportunity for you to bridge the void and share in the musical experience.[sc name=”quote” text=”WaveStation offers the opportunity for you to bridge the void and share in the musical experience.”]
Though it still needs more people to truly show off its potential, WaveStation is a satisfying, visually pleasing and easy to use music sharing app that will, hopefully, be going places.
Here’s wishing the best of luck to the growth of both WaveStation and its musical artists.
[review pros=”Excellent visual appeal and ease of use – it feels like a very professionally made app. The ability to search for local musicians and local events makes this extremely user friendly.” cons=”It still needs more users to make the experience complete.” score=8]
