Lobotomy
Project Overview
Lobotomy was my final project at FLAG. For this project, I chose to design a streaming platform focused on strengthening the connection people have with music. The platform makes it easier to discover new music, delve into favorite musical styles, and interact socially within the app itself. In Lobotomy, each genre and subgenre is treated as a community, consisting of the users who consume it. From this, the algorithm promotes what is valued within these communities.
Challenge
For those who want to delve deeper into their musical tastes, there is a significant barrier in the market due to the difficulty in searching for more specific content. Users often struggle to understand the connection between the music they chose to listen to and the subsequent recommendations made by the algorithm. Additionally, there is no specific place where they can find detailed information and music related to a particular musical style.
The main challenge was to create a platform that allows users to search for music across various and specific genres, providing an experience that deepens their connection with music. This includes access to musical communities, information about songs, artists, and styles.
