# Listen Local {#listenlocal}
Listen Local is an open collaboration for artists, fans, managers, developers to provide alternatives to connect local audiences with local artists through locally relevant music recommendations and findings. As a project of the Digital Music Observatory it aims to make big data work for small labels and self-released artists, and to make algorithms work for and not against them.
## Listen Local Goals {#llgoals}
Listen Local is a highly automated system that uses open-source algorithms for automation and open, trustworthy AI. We deploy these technologies to help humans to work with music, enjoy music and participate in music. Keeping in mind a basic principle of ethical, trustworthy AI, our system is always maintaining human agency and oversight.
