In response to detecting the one or more movements, the method includes determining a current mental state of the user, and obtaining one or more changes to one or more musical elements of the musical performance that improve the current mental state of the user. The method also includes applying the one or more changes to the one or more musical elements to the segment of the musical performance, and playing the segment of the musical performance to the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems crowdsourcing collection and distribution of photographs. A network of computing devices communicates with a content storage and client computing devices operated by users. The network includes application instance computing devices that register users, receive photographs from users (after a description of a common theme has been published), and store photographs in the content storage. Identifications of multiple external and independently operated social networks are received for each photograph, and each photograph is posted on the social networks identified for the photograph. After these posts, a new registration request is received from a new user. After the new user is registered, a new photograph is received from the new user and stored in the content storage.
