The KLAUS Project — a platform for music creation and NFT ownership
KLAUS, a project pushing the limits of music generation for everyone, wanted to take their platform to the next level. Their goal? To develop a fully functional music stem player and sound engine, allowing users to create interactive musical experiences. Recognizing the need for expertise to match their vision, KLAUS chose us as their development partner.
Business context
KLAUS needed a competitive edge in the crowded NFT music industry. With a more interactive platform, they could draw in new fans and keep existing ones engaged. A music stem player would be a unique feature that would set them apart. By partnering with Geniusee, our client got the technical expertise to turn their vision of an interactive NFT music platform into reality.
Key challenges:
They initially offered vinyl records as NFTs but needed a complete platform upgrade to:
- Increase user experience
- Build a scalable solution to engage with the users and music creators
- Integrate their generated music with a Stem Player for interactive listening
Work approach
-
Collaborative vision
We worked hand-in-hand with the KLAUS team to understand their vision for a more engaging user experience. This way, we ensured the upgraded platform would seamlessly integrate with their existing NFT and music making functionalities.
-
Technical expertise
Our tech expertise came into play when developing the music stem player and sound engine. By combining ReactJS, NodeJS, and a custom sound engine built on AWS, we delivered a truly innovative way for users to interact with KLAUS's music tools.
-
User experience
Our attention to detail was about more than just ensuring technical functionality. We thoroughly tested the music stem player to guarantee a smooth and intuitive user experience, allowing users to explore the nuances of KLAUS's music world.
-
Communication
Our project manager established clear communication between our development and KLAUS teams. This kept the project on track and allowed for quick adjustments, resulting in a NFT platform for music that perfectly embodies KLAUS's vision.
Process
-
Our project manager began by analyzing the client's current workflows. This helped us identify the best way for our team to work with theirs.
Given the project's complexity, we then collaborated with key stakeholders to define clear priorities and establish a realistic timeline. Consistent communication was essential to keep everyone on the same page, so we set up weekly sync meetings, status reports, and messaging channels to keep everyone informed on progress and next steps.
-
Our team collaborated closely with KLAUS to understand their existing platform, user base, and future vision. We also studied the music NFT market and buyers to determine the target audience and their needs. This analysis identified key areas for improvement.
-
To upgrade KLAUS's existing platform, our developers first analyzed their current website and API to understand what needed improvement. We then proposed enhancements to optimize the user experience, strengthen security, and scale the infrastructure.
For the front-end, we suggested a redesign with a modern interface and adaptive styling to appeal to vinyl collectors. We integrated an interactive preview of the NFT vinyl records so users could view all angles and details.
On the back-end, our team strengthened security by implementing token-based authentication and upgrading to encrypted data storage. We also scaled the platform by optimizing the API and migrating to a more robust hosting provider to handle increased web traffic and transactions as the project gained more users.
-
The DevOps team was key to upgrading the platform through automated infrastructure, continuous delivery, monitoring, and scalability. Their technical skills and processes allowed the development team to build and release new features rapidly, resulting in an upgraded platform that could handle growth and meet customer needs.
-
To ensure high quality and consistency, the QA team thoroughly tested all new features and upgrades. They manually tested all main functions of the platform, checked for any bugs or glitches, and verified that everything worked as intended.
