Abstract

Massh! is an online music software, which enables users to use any portions (i.e., loops) of sound data found on the Internet and mix them to make their own versions of songs (i.e., Mashup). Mashups made on this system can be also published as "blueprints" containing descriptions enough to reproduce the same result on other users' computers. Its distinctive visual user interface also provides highly interactive user experience, so that people with little music knowledge and experience can join the creative process of making music.
