Trent Reznor and Beats by Dre plan revolutionary music streaming service

Trent Reznor's latest plans are huge. Right now, music-wise, he’s working on two Nine Inch Nails releases: a greatest hits compilation, which will feature two new songs, and a new album of original compositions.

But the most interesting thing is not related to his bands; he is, indeed, working in partnership with Beats by Dre, an Interscope/Dr. Dre-affiliated enterprise. His task is helping to refine a revolutionary music-streaming service, which is called Daisy, at the moment, and is set to be launched early next year.
Daisy “uses mathematics to offer suggestions to the listener… [but also] would present choices based partly on suggestions made by connoisseurs, making it a platform in which the machine and the human would collide more intimately“, he said. Comparing it to Spotify, Reznor says: “Here’s sixteen million licensed pieces of music,’ they’ve said, but you’re not stumbling into anything. What’s missing is a service that adds a layer of intelligent curation”.
So, according to Trent, Daisy will be “like having your own guy when you go into the record store, who knows what you like but can also point you down some paths you wouldn’t necessarily have encountered.“.
