what does it mean to be a Listener?
audiophiles, critics, haters, fans & enjoyers
One of our proposed ideas for LAMP was the use of user types, kind of like personality quizzes and personality types, we liked the idea of different kinds of music enjoyers and debated what each kind of person would want from a social platform- and then saw potential in the categorization. After a lot of self reflection, and brainstorming we landed on four distinct user types.
users & interactions
HIFI interacton user flows
With our Listeners in mind, we set out to model interaction around them from the start, allowing them to decide their user journeys from the start.
- picking cd albmums (explorer)
- picking from a list of vynils (critic)
- picking things from the cd (listener)
- picking from cassettes (fan)
Based on these user types and selections, user algorithms, explore pages, and content would be altered, for example an Audiophile is someone who knows what they like, theyre into the niche and the abstract.
The feed includes more artsy sounds- more Cordex, less Katy Perry.
An Explorer is someone that likes music- but wants to get out there and discover more genres- theyre jumping into the deep end of the pool.
A Critic is someone well versed in the medium- they've heard it all and they know how to appreciate it! Critic's feeds feature industry newcomers,old names-
new names- and new sounds alike, the critic only seeks to enjoy and leave their piece behind.
girl, what even is a music diary?
We liked the idea of a music diary- kind of like today's junk journals but more music specific and more techy. We wanted to make it so people could have a space to annotate, document, and share their love, hate, admiration, connection, and critiques with each other - or privately.

where's the social part?
We had ideas for social interacton! We want people to explore, to share, and to connect- but at the same time we want people to be authentic to themselves, their tastes, and their experiences! With /LAMP we never want there to be influencers or stars - just listeners! With that in mind our user interaciton and social system is a bit different to mosts in that everyone- and we mean everyone is anonymous. We're all strangers after all!
