From Tickets to Timeline: How Gigs Captures Your Live Music Journey
The digitalization of everything began with photographs and the tracking of fitness levels. It was only going to take a little time before the experience of attending concerts in real time would also be treated similarly. The concert experience is one that most music lovers will agree is one of the best experiences of their lives.
The only issue is that a lot of times:
- We are left relying on our memories, fading away,
- on unclear photographs scattered about,
- or on old emails as sources to recall these memories from the past.
That’s the reason that Gigs exist.
The Idea Behind Gigs
Gigs are built on the premise that the history of concerts that you have seen in person deserves to be recorded and chronicled as well as you have in the past. With the Gigs app, there’s no need to write each concert down on a piece of paper because it creates a personal record of all the concerts you go to.
Instead of having all of your unstructured data (like ticket emails, booking confirmations, random screenshots) broken apart into different places, Gigs puts them all in one timeline that’s clear and easy to understand.
How It Works
To get started with Gigs, you need to link your existing ticketing information with Gigs through your email and a ticketing provider supported by Gigs.
Once you have connected your existing account through Gigs, it will look for any previous concert bookings made by your existing account and arrange them by date.
This means that you can keep all your previous concert information archived chronologically without having to manually enter that information.
You will get a digital record of all your concerts without having to enter one concert into Gigs. It will continually scan your existing email account and automatically create a digital record.
Included in Your Archive
In fact, your archive contains much more than just a listing of concerts. It represents your music life, including many detail:
- artists you have seen perform live
- concert date and place
- city/state/country where the event occurred
- ticket confirmations or other documentations of attendance
- a visual representation of your concert history over time.
And some integrations may also provide you with additional information, such as tour details, track listing for specific performers, and more.
Why It Is Important
Live music is very different from streaming a song. Live musical performances have an emotional impact on you. It creates a unique sensory experience for you and is often remembered in a completely different manner than recorded music.
However, it is only through proper record keeping that the memories created from live performances remain intact in our minds.
Gigs help in this area by providing a systematic way to revisit your memories.
It’s like having a web-based scrapbook that you don’t have to create. But the difference is that it creates itself. You will observe the evolution of your musical preferences. Whom you have consistently returned to, and how many performances you have attended.
A Personal Music Experience
One of the best aspects of Gigs is that it’s also an extension of your identity as a fan of music. By using Gigs, one can build a collection of memories and experiences that will reveal to you trends regarding your concert-going habits.
The Future of Live Music
Gigs also connect you to what’s going on in the live music scene now. They often send you notifications of shows that are coming to your city and are in line with your interests and past concert attendance. This means you can easily move from enjoying past musical experiences to finding new ones.
Conclusion
Gig is not just an application. Although it creates a framework for documenting what’s important to you and your music experiences.
For those who love live music, Gigs provides an elevated experience. It takes the random memories of live music from various times and creates a cohesive history of them through ongoing archiving.
So, the memories of live music experiences you have are important. But the ultimate purpose of those memories is to help you remember the whole body of work you’ve experienced as live music by combining multiple parts into one.
