Have we got a treat for you! We ran the Swimming with Narwhals Music Tech startup competition at the Music Tectonics conference back in October, and today, we have interviews with our two winners. You will hear from judges' choice winner Ben Bowler about Aux, the music making platform, and especially their new offering, Aux Sounds, which lets you control AI to make beats and backing tracks. And you'll hear our interview with audience choice award winner Diana Gremore of RealCount, the platform that lets artists, managers, agents and more find out how ticket sales are actually doing, with time enough to make strategic decisions for your tours. Two very different companies that exemplify the incredible creativity and problem solving this year's Narwhal pitch competition contestants are addressing in the Music Tectonics community and music industry.

The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done. Visit musictectonics.com to find shownotes and a transcript for this episode, and find us on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. Let us know what you think!
