About the Project:
Concise is a app for folks like Jaci here in UXDI
who loves music but sometimes wants to quickly
find a music stream that fits her mood
immediately. The Concise team was looking to
create an app that uses the music data you have
uploaded, purchased or liked in other services
and stream music based on a three word choice.

wander. She also wants to listen to music her way and also
take ownership of her music by mood! Yes,
recommendations by bands you choose or genre inform
