NOTICE

This is a recent project that I have been working on - just for fun. For rigorous design process, please check out my other projects!

ARIA

A ticket sales and distribution app
focused on underground music and events

SUMMER 2024

JUST FOR FUN!

CONTEXT

Aria is a platform for connecting people interested in underground music with artists across all kinds of experimental and alternative music genres. For listeners, Aria is a tool for discovering and keeping up with the world of live underground music.

VALUE

Aria seeks to bring value for both listeners and performers, creating a method for people to attend experimental live music events wherever they are in the world.
Musicians can share their events and sell tickets on Aria. Joining the feed gives artists access to listeners who enjoy alternative genres that are similar.

VALUE PROPOSAL

FOR LISTENERS

Listeners learn about more music events, connect with the greater community of experimental music fans, and have more novel going-out music experiences.

FOR MUSICIANS

Musicians sell more tickets to a wider audience of listeners and pack out venues.

FOR VENUES

Venues that regularly host underground artists see a greater return of one time customers.

AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE MUSICIANS

Musicians can share their events and sell tickets on Aria. Joining the feed gives artists access to listeners who enjoy alternative genres that are similar.
Aria eliminates cognitive overhead and gives SoundCloud and BandCamp artists a similarly simple and alternative ticket sales platform. Aria gives artists a modern and simpler alternative to creating facebook events, with a focus on clearer shareability.

CONNECTING FANS

Keeping up with underground events is difficult at home, and an even harder task abroad. Aria allows music streaming listeners to keep up with the tour dates of their artists without relying on twitter or facebook.
Aria gives people more ways to connect in seemingly boring cities. Travellers who are visiting Paris or New York can see an event thrown by authentic culture in the cities.
