Project Summary

Anadea developed a web application from scratch for an independent designer to translate MIDI files into a custom music language and create a music database. The system was built in Ruby on Rails; initial functionality worked for 60% of songs and, after refinements, now handles about 95% of songs. The engagement began in January 2022, ran through April 2022, and the client praised the team's professionalism and communication via Slack and video calls.

Key Challenges

Translate MIDI files into a custom music language representing music through colors
Build a web application and database to store and process that music language

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

Anadea built the client's web application from scratch using Ruby on Rails based on the client's design. The vendor provided initial engineering meetings with a broader team but a single developer implemented the code. Communication was handled primarily via Slack and video calls, and a business development contact oversaw the engagement.

Project Outcome

Functionality improved from ~60% to ~95% of songs working in the system
Client satisfied with communication, project management, and professional delivery
