Summary

Twilio was used to power a personal medium like a phone call for Little Dragon's fans, allowing them to have an intimate moment with the band. The project aimed to "scale the intimacy" between a band and their fans by using Twilio Voice API to trigger calls at specific times during the video, and Pusher to create a real-time event that synced the video with the audio of the phone call. The site was a success, winning FWA's site of the day award, and has plans for future use in marketing, such as announcing new music releases to fans who called up.
