Motus.Events
Find Moments That Move.

The Mantra:
An App For The Moments That Deeply Move. This Is Motus. A Movement, And A New Mindset. Motus Is For Live Music And The Moments That Deeply Move. Motus Moments. It's Time To Move. A Motus Mindset Means That You Value And Deeply Appreciate Good Music. And You Wish To Support The Live Music Scene.

The Mission Statement:
Extraction Is One Of The Strongest Trends In The Music And Entertainment Industry. And This Has Been The Trend For A Very Long Time. This Is Why Nobody Likes The Events And Ticketing Platforms That We Have Available. Artists And Fans Are On The Same Page. The Industry Is Not. Many Of The Platforms That We Are Forced To Use And Forced To Pay For Do Not Have Our Best Interests At Heart. They're Built To Extract. They're Built To Hijack And Hold Our Attention, Often With A Cost, Often With Negative And Hidden Alternative Motives.

It's Time To Change That.

It's Time To Change The Narrative. Motus Is Building A Human Centered Movement That Puts Artists And Their Fans First. We Put The Music First. We Build Experiences. We're Building A Movement To Support The Live Music Scene And To Support New And Upcoming Artists. We Need An App That Keeps Us In The Moment Rather Than An App That Takes Us Out Of It. This Is The Core And The Foundation Of Motus Events. An App To Find Moments That Move.

Use The Motus Events App To Find Moments That Deeply Move.

Live Music, Up And Coming Artists, Bands, Open Mics, Dance Parties, Fundraisers, Conferences, Seminars, Community Townhalls, or even events hosted by You! Motus Is For Moments That Deeply Move. Motus Is For Those Who Move. Stay In The Moment, And You Earn Some Motus.

These Are Motus Moments.

If You’ve Been Moved, Tip The Band.

This Is The Mindset. This Is The Model. This— Is The Move.
