Emmerich Anklam
Project Manager and Lead Creator
I DJ at KZSU, Stanford's freeform radio station, and so I'm always on the lookout for strange, fun, mind-blowing new music.
Welcome to Project Soneme
We are a group of music enthusiasts who want to empower our users to discover music outside of their comfort zone. Our goals are to make music discovery more interactive and allow listeners to explore new sounds more easily. Soneme listeners can strike out and find music, hear other listeners' recommendations, and share their own discoveries as a DJ.

Project Development
Contextual Inquiry & Task Analysis
We began by researching the ways potential customers discover music with currently existing tools. Along the way, we found some holes that a new technology could fill.
Concept Video
What's it like to use our app in daily life? We shot a brief video that shows some of our first thoughts.
Low-Fi Prototype & Test
We built our first prototype using paper and pen. Then we tested it in the real world.
Medium-Fi Prototype Development
After our first round of tests, we created an interactive prototype using Proto.io, a feature-rich prototyping tool for mobile platforms.
Heuristic Evaluation
Three outside evaluators scrutinized our medium-fi prototype, giving us some new issues to consider in the next phase of the design process.
Hi-Fi Midway Development
Our mid-development report on our hi-fi prototype, inlcuding what we have changed from the medium prototype and mockups for the final product.
Pitch Slide
Our pitch slide that we used to present project soneme during our final project fair.
Project Poster
Our final project poster used in the project fair.
Prototypes
Low Fi Prototype
Our first prototype leaves a lot to the imagination, so we had fun playing make-believe as we ran our first tests. It isn't interactive without a "human computer," but this demo shows the general flow of the program as we originally imagined it.
Medium Fi Prototype (Readme)
Built with Proto.io, this interactive prototype demonstrates the general functionality of our app and showcases early versions of our gesture control.
Hi-Fi Prototype
We created our hi-fi prototype on a web based backing using the Angular and Ionic libraries. Angular provides a structure which allows easily faking data to look like it’s coming from an API, and handling the views and navigation. Ionic provides UI frameworks which allows simulating mobile interfaces on the web. With this two together it was easy to make the inital setup.
To try out our prototype, follow the link to our GitHub page and follow the instructions in the readme to install.
