Last week Radio Labs and RAD held a joint mini-hackday to explore visualising some of our music data. We had several multi-disciplinary teams building quick prototypes and hacks, what I called "sketching with data, designing with code". Here are some snapshots of the results...

We're picking this work up again now to take the best of these ideas and try to build something great. More soon.

About this blog

This is our new blog for 大象传媒 Radio Labs - a place where we show some of our prototypes for new sites and services. They are all at an early stage of development and some of them might not work quite right, some might look a bit sketchy and they may never be taken any further. They're what we call "betas". We'll write about every new beta we release on this blog so please play with them and come back here to let us know what you think. We'll also be writing about other things we're working on, how we do our work and anything else we think you might be interested in.
