someone who's doing some things
I was amazed to hear this morning that a new album of Martyn’s work was being released. I checked iTunes on my phone and there it was, so imagine how disappointed I was to get home and find that it isn’t on iTunes anymore for some reason. I’ve no idea why, and all I want to do is get a quick listen to it and then I’d probably buy it, but for now that’s not possible.
According to his site it’s available though.
Another excellent and experimental application for making strange music, which is of course what I love to do. The app is from Nick Collins who’s made some excellent apps for iOS.
I was listening to this compilation on Friday and I really enjoyed it for the most part. Which I found strange. I didn’t find it strange that I liked the individual songs, I knew those and knew that I liked them, but the order that they were in created a different feel to listening to them, and that made me think.
It made me remember the mixtape, that is, when it was an actual tape and not a digital representation of a tape. Curating (if that’s the right word for it) tracks together in a specific order can quite easily change their meaning or at least adapt it for a different purpose.
I found listening to Sylvian’s tracks in the order in this compilation gave them a different meaning in a way for me. Not a totally different meaning you understand, but something subtle. It also made me remember mixtape’s where they were in a different order and what tracks followed which was strange too.
I’m not entirely sure where this leads, but I think it’s interesting in itself, that’s all.
Another more experimental app that I like to mess around with, and was doing so over a coffee recently. I do love the strange agency’s work it is so interesting and creative. They always have excellent ideas.
Nice picture. Nice calendar
I found this from one of the very early posts on Palm Sounds and after a bit of searching around I found a PRC file for it (that’s a Palm OS executable file). So I’m going to give it a go and see what can be done with it. That’s if it works at all.
