Soundhalo was launched in the summer of 2013 as a way for musicians to broadcast and sell live gigs with high quality audio and video to fans, and was notably backed by artists like Thom Yorke and Alt-J. It was short-lived however, and though there has not been an official announcement that Soundhalo has closed, their website remains mostly nonfunctional and their last social media post is from October 24, 2013 - just months after they had launched.
