Peex platform connects fans with artists
- Details
Peex Live allows fans to tweak the live mix at a concert by transmitting an encrypted live audio feed split into five channels to the audience, which is picked up by Peerx rX, a wearable device attached to earphones. Fans can then adjust the five channels via Peex’s Bluetooth app, and the rX will blend their personal mix with the live sound.
The rX is provided with a set of earbuds but any set of 3.5mm-jack headphones can be used.
Peex, which is backed by Rocket Music Management, also launched a platform for performers - Peex Relive, where artists can sell audio downloads of past and future live shows in the company’s five-channel interactive audio format.
Graham Tull, chief technology officer and co-founder of Peex, comments: “We’re delighted to unveil Peex. Through focussing on adding genuine value both to music fans and the music industry ecosystem, we’ve invented new music technology that we’re all very proud of and believe will revolutionise the live music experience. Artists, labels and venues will all benefit from a closer dialogue with their audience via the Peex app. We’re looking forward to putting Peex into action with our upcoming partnerships including A-list talent - it’s sure to be a game-changer for fans, artists, and the live music experience.”
Mike Dawson, CFO of Rocket Music Management, adds: “Over the last three years, Rocket has worked closely with the team at Peex as they've developed their technology to improve the fan experience at live gigs, and we’re eager to see it go to market. In our partnership with Peex, we see a disruptive technological breakthrough that has incredible potential to generate new income streams for musicians, artists, venues, and labels alike. All of us at Rocket love Peex and we are genuinely excited about how it’s going to change the experience of live music for the fans.”
The Peex app will be available to download from Apple’s App Store (iOS) and the Google Play Store (Android).
