Now, by profession I’m a software designer, so I know a thing or two about databases and programming, so, on returning to Europe, I began to discuss a design proposal with musical friends and family. It would have to do more than simply show proximity, they told me. It would be useful if it could also be used for managing groups (orchestras, ensembles, choirs, etc.), as well as diaries and events. Something for professional musicians, as well as amateurs, teachers, administrators, fixers and music aficionados.
