A digital muse in your pocket. Inspired by the ancient Muse of Music, Ask Euterpe is a high-performance creative companion for the modern musician that generates randomized prompts for the user. Whether you are a film composer searching for inspiration, a producer looking for a unique melodic idea, or a songwriter exploring new harmonic territory, Euterpe provides the spark you need exactly when you need it. This app is instrument-agnostic. Whether you play piano, guitar, or work entirely with the blank page, Euterpe’s theory-grounded suggestions translate seamlessly to your workflow. Key Features The Muse’s Spark: Select filters to determine Euterpe's output. You can ask Euterpe to provide the scale, the instrumentation, suggest a genre, or even abstract directions that can help you break out of a rut. All information is stored on your device, and no AI is used to generate the outcomes - it's all in your hand. Audio Playback: Don't just read the music—hear it. Integrated playback for all generated scales and keys helps you feel the mood before you even pick up your instrument. Vision Management: Save your favorite generated inspirations as "Visions." Refine and edit them as your project grows from a simple idea into a full composition. Give your vision a title and add lyrics or notes; Euterpe will remember it all, and you can search through your library to find a specific vision. Built for Everyone: Tailored for composers, producers, and students alike - musicians of all levels. It’s a "no-nonsense" tool that eliminates the tedium of searching for inspiration, letting you focus on the craft of music. Why Ask Euterpe? As a musician, you know that inspiration is fleeting. Ask Euterpe was built to be a fast, lightweight, and professional-grade tool that doesn't require opening a heavy DAW or flipping through theory books. It’s the perfect companion for the studio, the practice room, or the tour bus. Privacy & Data Transparency Your creativity is your own business. Ask Euterpe is designed with a privacy-first architecture. No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit your names, emails, or "Visions." Your creative work stays local to your device. No Tracking: Outside of standard, non-identifying ad-serving metrics, we do not track your behavior across other apps or websites.

Read full description

IML Gigs is the app for musicians who play with the International Musicians League and its bands. Everything about your upcoming gigs, in one place: • Your gig list, with the ones that still need an answer at the top. Accept or decline an invitation with one tap. • The worksheet for every gig: date, times, venue and directions, the schedule, dress code, set lists and the producer's notes. Tap the address to open it in Maps or Waze, or add the gig to your calendar. • Band chat for every gig, with your bandmates and the producer. Photos, PDFs, voice notes and files, reactions, and replies to a specific message. • The band roster: who is playing what, and a way to reach a bandmate on the day. • Notifications the moment a gig changes or someone writes in the band chat. IML Gigs is for musicians already on the International Musicians League roster. Sign in with the mobile number the League has for you; a one-time code arrives by text. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to remember.
