Developer marathon produces innovative ideas.
This weekend's Music Hack Day event in London saw coders spend 24 hours creating music mash-ups using the APIs of companies including Last.fm, 7Digital, The Echo Nest, SoundCloud and Songkick.
The results include a number of projects with a mobile twist.
Cuttle was a remixing tool that digs into a user's iPod library on their iOS device. Meanwhile, Piracy was an Android app that lets people share music by 'dropping' songs at real-world locations.
MixCloudPad was an iPad client for the MixCloud streaming music service, while SongkickGiglister was an Android app that pulls in data and content for the bands that a user is going to see live.
Gowalla for SoundCloud let people stream a free music track when they check into a venue using social location service Gowalla.

Also impressive was Disco Snake, a new version of the classic game - popularised by Nokia - which generates music through samples triggered whenever the snake eats some food.
