The Problem

Live music has changed - look around any gig and you'll see it: a glowing wall of phones that flattens the atmosphere for everyone. Yet those shaky clips rarely get a second viewing, and artists can't legally reuse most of them. Fans lose the moment, venues lose the vibe and labels lose valuable content. A snap survery we peformed showed that:

88%

said other people's filming distracts them

74%

would skip filming if they knew great footage was coming later

Our Solution

recapa is part app, part cultural shift. We keep memories alive without sacrificing the moment. A small, pre-selected group of fans films; the rest of the crowd soaks up the music phone-free – confident they'll get a recap the next day. Here's how it works:

Before the Show

Ticket-holders open the app and pick a side: volunteer to film or be a phone-free fan.

At the Door

Selected filmers flash the app and walk in. Everyone else gets a simple lens sticker.
