SIE (Slowink Interning Environment)

Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

Slowink Software Arts is a cutting edge software development studio with the technical,
creative and production capabilities to create a new generation of feature applications, system
software and other related products. Slowink's objective is to combine proprietary technology and
world-class creative talent to develop interactive technological experiences of a graceful precision.

Slowink, verbally considered, is a search for a harmony between science and art. We take
faith on our journey and know that such a pilgrimage will reveal the material perfections this universe
has to offer. We venture to understand the laws and mathematics inherent within art whilst in
recognition of the intuitive beauties within science. Let the rhetoric cease; the products are to speak
for themselves.

“We work to see the rejuvenation of the record business and the simultaneous elevation of listener
experiences. A fundamental flaw in the music industry’s operation has been our search for "legal
equivalents". In order to compete and beat illicit mediums, an "equivalent" is of no avail. What is
needed is a superior product. Pirate films can never compete will the full cinematic experience and so
the legit film industry maintains a pragmatic competitive advantage over its illicit counterparts. The
music industry at present does not have such a genuine competitive advantage; it is our purpose to
provide this superiority.”

Below you will find 5 internship schemes that you qualify for. Please rank them in order of preference
and email such information to Sung Joo “SJ” Han (s.j.han@slowink.com). If accepted, work will
commence after an electronic agreement is signed.

Blue Internship; Promotional Development

You will work with the marketing team to develop more efficient mechanism to promote
online and monitor such promotional efforts. Objectives include developing affiliate networking
applications, innovating and developing new ways to promote online, especially within social media
platforms such as Facebook and employing real time search engines to create a framework for
systemically deploying adverts to the most relevant social media spots on the internet.

Blue Internship; Product Testing and Customer Satisfaction

You will work with members of the science team to develop testing environments and
methods of testing for elements of the oneCluster application. You are to work with solutions
provided by SimpleTest, Selenium, BuildBot and Nagios. Much of your work will include working with
their products and methods.

Blue Internship; Musicologist

You will be required to use music theory to develop an “attributes matrix” for the oneCluster
service and its listeners. The incumbents within this role are to aid the Science Team by determining
the most viable and “telling” attributes for which the Science Team are to extract using MIR (Music
Information Retrieval) technologies. You will also work to consider and determine a set of slider
controls (VibeCube) to allow users to moves through their music pool aesthetically and emotionally.
You will research user behaviour and the sub culture of House Music and also the different ways to
perfect the process of MIR from a musical/musicians perspective.

Blue Internship; Intellectual Property and Product Protection

You will work with members of the management team to develop intellectual property
propositions and strategies relevant to Slowink and its array of software solutions. Discovering ways
to protect Slowinks products, you are to be involved in discussing inventions and processes with
inventors and ascertaining whether they are likely to succeed in being granted patents, studying and
analysing scientific or technical documents, including previously published patent documents, to
assess in what ways an invention is new and innovative and writing detailed descriptions of inventions
in precise legal terms (patent drafts), which form the basis for patents to be granted by patent offices
in various parts of the world.

Green Internship; Music Information Retrieval

You will work with the Slowink music specialists to create, initiate and ensure an efficient and
robust attributes matrix and recommendation system for the oneCluster service and its listeners. You
are required to innovate whilst communicating with Slowink music specialists to experiment and
develop efficient methods to extract a number of attributes from a song (ensuring that it has a
consistency rate of over 95%). The role requires much experimentation and creative thinking - it is
from these experiments that Slowink will ratify its approach. You will also be required to engage in
the reading and presenting of materials to members of the Slowink executive team.

Green Internship; Metrics Modules and Applications

You will work with both members of the science team and creative team to develop analytics
and management applications/modules for Record Labels, whereby they can upload their music, view
their music, its performance and statistics as well as revenues generated via their incorporation into
the oneCluster service.

Remote internship ethos

The purpose of Slowink's Interning Environment is mutual benefit; whilst providing interns with a
network of peers and developers across Western Europe (United Kingdom, Germany and France) we
provide interns with the opportunity to develop their software engineering skills, offering work
experience within a highly innovative institution. What we seek to gain from such a relationship is an
engagement with the next generation of software developers in the search for individuals who have
the energy, ideas and philosophy to complement the character of the Slowink organisation.
