Tom Vek chats about his app & the power of music artwork
News: 26th August 2016 by Louise Dodgson under Creative & Branding, Selling & Distributing Your Music
Tom Vek became so frustrated with the way digital music releases were presented through outlets such as Apple Music that he created his own IOS app to tackle the problem, Sleevenote. A keen advocate of creative control for musicians, he believed it was only fair that they should have a say in the artistic presentation of their work which he doesn't feel current digital music platforms are providing and also wanted to provide an interactive element as well.
“I strongly believe that a digital music package needs to be accessible and affordable to small labels, unsigned acts, as well as big labels. That will be what makes it work. It’s my understanding that only official designers could create an iTunes LP package, and it was a costly process for the labels, and seemed dull tied to the desktop. I feel it put Apple off the idea of trying anything similar.”
