Music 4.5 Mobile Music – the sound of the future

Posted by on in Events, Friends, MusicLeave a comment

I was speaking at this event yesterday, and I have to say that it was really interesting (and I’m not just talking about my talk). There was some really interesting thoughts on the relationships between mobile companies and the music business.

I learnt a lot from all of the sessions, but most of all I really enjoyed talking to Tim Cole from Intermorphic, and Michael from RJDJ, Gareth from Liine, and Ed from Audio Silver Lining. There was a great bunch of people there. It’s left me with a lot of things to think about too.

Thicket

A new version of Thicket is out. I really liked the original version, it was excellent, and really engaging for people who hadn’t used an iPad before. I’ve only briefly played with the new version so I’m not sure as yet if it’s as good. It does have a bunch of in-app purchase options, and I might try one just to see what they’re like.

I’ve thought about getting a Tapwave Zodiac for a long time, but never bothered, but I saw this one on eBay, and even though it didn’t have a cradle or cable for charging I decided to go for it, and for £4 (just over) it’s not bad going.

Having said that, I thought I could pick up a charger or cradle quite easily. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case so far, but I’m on the look out. Until then it’ll sit around sadly doing nothing until I can get it up and running again.
