One way or another, Apple is involved in a whole lot of the music to which people listen. Here, writer David Dodson considers what that means (and similar issues with other digital music listening beyond Apple, like Spotify. Photo CC-BY) Yutaka Tsutano .What does it mean to “master for iTunes?” Apple tripped that question with the launch of a [...]

I really love IanniX. It’s great for experimentation, and in the realm of OSC it really stands on it own. My one critique would be more effort should be made for traditional uses. Alternately someone needs to become inspired and work on a similar platform with more traditional uses. But hey that’s me wanting OSC to conquer the world.

@Gavin It should be distinguished this is very different than sharing a youtube link with a friend. Even with a discussion on Facebook about a youtube link, you aren’t interacting in real time with the music. All of the networking paradigm things really don’t have to apply here. When you post a link on a [...]

Turntable FM is a great new service, but differs a bit from the two services featured here, primarily because it is setup as a social networking game. IMO while there is a social aspect to it, the networking and points system affect what is played. It becomes less about sharing music, and more about playing [...]

The original Walkman had two headphone jacks. ( @OReillyMedia reminds us – and if you look closely, you can spot them!) Couples sharing iPod earbuds was an early sign of communal listening. So, how did the portable player turn listening inward – and how can you turn it back in the connected, Web age?Industry titans Google, Amazon, [...]

Here’s hoping that comes. Seriously though I think the potential of this does more for OSC than what most which have preceded it have been able to. Mainly because its OSC being utilized for intercommunication not just translation. It’s nice to use OSC for CC messages but then the CC messages are still the object. [...]

It was testing his patience, or more precisely, challenging his tolerance. Lil’ Man of course knew the name Raymond Scott just like anyone who knew anything about J. Dilla did. But you don’t learn much about a man or his music from just a sample. The jazz band and orchestra stuff was new to him. [...]

“Are you coming?” Lilo whispers in Gisella’s ear. The panel has shifted to the classic digital versus analog debate, but everyone is so non-commital about their opinions it is hard to call it a debate. Gisella is mildly interested. She looks at her watch and it’s 4:45. If they got on the train right now [...]

There are drops of sweat on her lashes when Gisella finally opens her eyes. She looks at Lil’ Man who is smiling like a man who knows he’s done good. She smiles back licking the presperation off her upper lip only slightly suggestive. Lil’ Man notices but turns to give an nod to Chancha for [...] -

All at once the sound of the machines comes to a rattling halt. Lil’ Man couldn’t tell if this was normal or not. People were reacting but not as if it was an emergency. The decrease in sound allows him to pay closer attention to his sense of smell, which had been trying to place [...]

“While I don’t feel cheated,” Lilo says between sips of wine, “I do feel like I missed something. I mean it was Morton Subotnick, the Buchla was there, and he performed Silver Apples on the Moon, but something was missing.” “He didn’t patch live,” Lil Man says. “Yes, that is it isn’t it?” Lilo thinks about [...] -

Gisella can see that Lilo is disturbed by it. Lilo was one of those artists not chosen for the evenings presentation. The open call was for surround sound pieces that fit the theme of horror. Lilo had grasped onto the horror aspect, but completely ignored the surround sound. She didn’t really have a means of [...] -

The sound of an ambulance trails off behind her. Suddenly a female voice moves in only to be accompanied by at least ten different iterations of the same voice. They are all being manipulated diferently and floating around the space. Gisella closes her eyes and could see the voices sweeping, like ghosts in a haunted house. It was [...] -

She wonders, ‘why do people still watch it?’ Why is it considered a classic? Not because it is a good horror movie. Then again if it was good when it first premiered, and highly regarded at that time, failing to meet modern standards is irrelevant. With music, even if something is dated, to be considered a [...] - Load More
