About Rondel
A Montréal bagel with an ear for the city, and an opinion about your weekend.
Where Rondel comes from
I’m Armin. I built Rondel with a few friends.
I came to Montréal to study AI, play music (violin, bass, and the Taar, a Persian instrument), and dance more. In 2023 I went to my first Jazzfest and I was the happiest person on earth. Before it started, I wasn’t. I didn’t want to miss out. I wanted to discover the culture of my new home and the music that travels here from everywhere.
I love studying how AI and design can help us make decisions, so I wrote my thesis on how AI can help us discover music.
What’s next
I built this for myself, but people around me kept asking to use it. So I cleaned it up and made it public before Jazzfest. I didn’t get time to add support for French into it yet, which is sad, because, of course, Montréal.
French is the first thing I will add, along with some other things that you may have seen. Ideally I could see this as a collaborative and social tool that brings more people together.
