Hackatune is Munich Music Labs’ first hackathon, bringing together musicians, developers, designers, and researchers for 48 hours of building at the intersection of music and tech.
The name says it all: Hack a Tune. Whether you’re writing code, composing, prototyping, or doing all three, this is your space.
Teams will work on projects that push the boundaries of how music is created, experienced, or understood with technology. Mentors from the music and tech industries will be on-site throughout the weekend.
