Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

2 x Monotrons

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

My Monotron collection so far. I do really like the new Monotron Delay, and I hope to have a Duo as well in the not too distant future.

What I’m really looking forward to is being able to hook them together with some other mobile bits and see where we go from there.

More work on beepLAB

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

Don’t get too excited, this isn’t going going to be some amazing new Palm OS music app any time soon, and quite possibly not ever in fact. At the moment it is just some experimentation on my part and that’s about all.

Having said that, I’ve managed to get a few little things working in it, like a menu bar, and a little keyboard thing going. I will tinker with it some more as and when I have new ideas, and I’ll post up the results here too.

Still not sure about Spotify

Posted by on in Music

I keep thinking about getting set up a Spotify account for myself, but something puts me off. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I just can’t get to it as yet.

Is it worth it though? £10 a month. Will I use it? I am intrigued to use SPAPPS on the spotify platform, but who knows if that’ll be enough.

My guest post at Music 4.5

Posted by on in Events, Mobile Applications, Music

The people over at Music 4.5 are lovely. When I first spoke to Rassami about a mobile music conference last year I was just amazed to think that someone would be interested in that kind of thing, but now, less that twelve months on, it doesn’t seem so strange.

I’m looking forward to the event on the 8th. The panel of speakers looks really good (yep, I’m on it too), and I think there’ll be a broad spectrum of issues raised to cover the mobile music world and where it has got to.

If you’re interested in reading my piece over at Music 4.5’s blog, you can find it here.
