Gogoyoko launched in Alpha test on Saturday, November 15th. Rob the Klein came all the way from Munich to talk handball and drink the Viking. Einar B had so much fun that he ended up in Grafarvogur.
This week we have Torkel and Gard from Ignitas in Oslo working with us on various projects. We also have Rob Klein from Klein Interactive in Munich. Rob is the lead designer of the gogoyoko site and will be staying with us until December 16th. It’s great to have these gentlemen in the house…
Not satisfied with being one of the world’s biggest per-capita producers of innovative music, Iceland is now set to lead the way in terms of online music sales platforms.
Today, we’ll take time off to see the results of a collaboration between Reykjavik University & students at the Iceland Academy of the Arts. The students have been working with the concept of gogoyoko for three weeks now and will today introduce their own ideas around the concept and how they see gogoyoko mix with the arts & business approach.
The students have worked with a total of 11 start-ups and gogoyoko is only one of them. The best idea will be presented with an award by Klak, innovation house.
Gogoyoko will be presented the annual Nova Scotia Music Week, November 6-9.
Now in its 12th year, Music Nova Scotia has teamed up with the New Glasgow Music Jubilee to present their largest ever Music Week to date in Pictou County.
We’re very much looking forward to the event, particularly the live shows.
Looking at the band roster one has to admit that not many names ring a bell. But some do. Yes, we’ve seen some of them live, and heard great things about others. We will not be missing I See Rowboats, Ghostbees, Share, Sleepless Nights. But as always, there will be some nice surprises.
Music Nova Scotia is held over four days featuring live shows, receptions, workshops, trade show and dozens of showcases (including the Industry/Music Awards Brunch and Gala Awards) featuring both emerging and more established talent.
Ralph Simon from Mobilium Advisory Group blogs about Gogoyoko. We had the pleasure of meeting him during the IMX conference You Are In Control.
“One of the Icelandic companies garnering a lot of attention is social networking site and music platform called GogoYoko whose CEO, Haukur Magnusson hosted an event that attracted a big crowd to the “Dead” fashion boutique to show the music professionals their new platform. General reaction was strong and the consensus suggested that GogoYoko reflected the high level of web creativity that seems to have becom a hallmark from Iceland.”
