About | At Cutting Edge + VL Group, we want to build the future of music. Which means we’re passionate about creating technology that powers unique music experiences. We want to share this passion with you by inviting you to our first ever Music Hackathon. Be a part of the FUTURE. Register HERE Band together with fellow developers, musicians, and creatives to solve the problems that plague the entertainment industry. From music streaming apps to digital download stores, our goal is to inspire you to create something fresh and new, and more importantly, something that you'd want to use yourself! Mission | With the Music Innovation Hackathon during Cutting Edge CE Conference, we will be bringing together the growing local dev community, and the well-established music community together. We would like to empower the developers to be as creative as possible when using music to power their applications.
