Gree-Do, experimental electronic improve from Tenerife


I love hearing from people who are making music with mobile devices and apps, so it was great to hear from Silvia (aka PSGirl) Gree-Do. Here's what they say about themselves:

Gree-Do use mobile instruments on stage for experimental electronic music improvisation. Gree-Do, from Tenerife, are David Ramos and Javier Tapia. Last Saturday they gave their first live concert, and Javier Tapia used (among other equipment) a Korg Monotribe an iPad running NodeBeat and an iPhone with iRig as an effect unit for his electric guitar.

David used a Korg Kaossilator too. For the last theme of the concert they invited PSGirl to join the improvisation who used Animoog with a collection of sounds made by herself.

I'm hoping we'll get to see a video of the performance soon.

Google+ announces ‘Studio Mode’ for Live Online Music, so what does it mean for mobile?

I've been wondering for a while if G+ would provide something useful for the mobile music community. With this latest announcement I've got an idea of what might be possible.

Here’s the full announcement from Google product manager Matt Leske:

Since we launched Google+ a little over a year ago, we’ve seen a thriving community of musicians connect with fans in really cool ways. In particular: singer/songwriters like +Daria Musk bands like +Suite 709 and many others are using Hangouts On Air to perform live for global audiences, and jam with fans face-to-face.

We wanted to make these live hangout concerts sound more like the stage, so today we’re rolling out Studio Mode. As a musician, all you need to do is start your Hangout On Air, click settings, and switch from Voice to Studio Mode.

Studio Mode optimizes your individual audio for music instead of conversation, and no else needs to change a thing! Check out the video with +Suite 709 to hear the difference (and for the full effect, listen with your favorite pair of headphones).

So this is great news for live online music, but let's just imagine for a minute if this new feature of G+ was available in a mobile API that developers could use so a user could broadcast live performance from inside an app into a google hangout. Wouldn't that take mobile music in a very interesting direction?

Innerpartysystem live at Apple Store Regent Street

After my post about miniSynth being used live at the Apple Store Regent St in London on Friday I thought I'd have a look to see if there was any footage or photos or anything available but I couldn't find anything on their site or anywhere else, so if anyone has pictures or video I'd be interested.

Little Boots live at the ICA: Updated: Friday 21st


CORRECTION

Little Boots is playing the ICA London this FRIDAY, the 21st. Thanks to Naomi for pointing out the mistake.

If you don't know it the ICA is an excellent London venue. It is small enough so that you can actually see the act you've paid for, and also a well enough established venue to get some interesting acts.

Little Boots live at the ICA


Little Boots plays the ICA London this Thursday. You may remember I posted a video of Little Boots playing live using a Tenori-on and a stylophone. I've no idea if she'll do something similar at this gig, who knows? Anyway, the first act is on at 9:30pm and tickets a £9.50.
