Crimson Music
An independent music player, built around discovery.
The Challenge
A music app has to make room for two different habits: finding something new and returning to something familiar. Crimson brings both into the same flow, from a discovery feed to saved favorites, followed artists, and playlists.
The Experience
Discovery with a personal starting point. Recent listening, releases from followed artists, and Vault mood mixes give listeners several ways to find their next track.
Design Direction
Deep backgrounds and purple accents give Crimson its identity while leaving album artwork and artist photography in the foreground. Favorites, active navigation, and key controls share that purple accent, making the interface feel connected from screen to screen.
The Result
Crimson Music combines a recognizable interface with discovery, playback, and library tools in an open-source app. Audius provides the catalog, streams, and account system; Crimson shapes how listeners explore and enjoy them.
