What a great peace of music reverse engineering. Jim Pavloff uses some samples to re-create the classic music from Prodigy:

Impressive collaborative music

Posted by bordalix Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:41:00 GMT

In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users. 20 different YouTube videos embed in the same page, each with one instrument playing a tune, but where harmony is very well achieved. The videos can be played simultaneously - the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders. And you can combine any choice of instruments and play a different music each time, worth a try.

The Cloud Player

Posted by bordalix Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:40:00 GMT

The year is yet to begin, and the app to watch for in 2009 has just popped out: The Cloud Player, a "iTunes in the cloud" with friends sharing music. It's a all new ball game for the music industry, a brand new way of listening to music. Don't you love these spikes of evolution? Did I mention it's open source?

With only Mac OS X sounds, this guy composed a music, using, of course, GarageBand. How geek can you get?

Music for free

Posted by bordalix Wed, 27 Dec 2006 00:29:00 GMT

Totally legal, more than 190.000 licensed Creative Commons tracks.

Jamendo allows artists to promote and publish their music. Artists have the opportunity to show their creativity, and the public has a place to listen to, download, and share new music.

If you find an album that you like, you can share it on your blog, write a review, or donate directly to the artist. Some artists will even include the list of people who donated in the booklet of their forthcoming albums. A great site for both artists and fans. Everybody wins, except for the big record labels of course.

Find music through music tm

Posted by bordalix Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:18:00 GMT

Via the lessig blog:

This is easily the coolest technology I’ve seen in years: Go to the Creative Commons search page. Click on the OWL Music Search tab. (Depending upon the browser, you might need to run a fake search to get it to come alive — we’re working on this, but just type anything in the search bar). You’ll then see OWL’s Music Search interface. Drop an MP3 on OWL. It will analyze it and show you similar sounding Creative Commons licensed music. You select the part of the song you want to match; it finds the closest match it can find.

Jumpcut

Posted by bordalix Fri, 07 Apr 2006 11:00:00 GMT

Forget Flickr, loose YouTube, the new kid on the block is Jumpcut. Imagine a place where you can upload your own media (photos, clips, songs) or grab other's public media to create your own movies. Yes, that's right, create your own movies.

Mac fans, like me, will love the interface similar to iMovie. The big difference is that this one is easier to use, even being web based (great job guys).

In order to test the service, I uploaded 4 Pixar clips and a song from Fatboy Slim, and mixed my first Jumpcut movie. If you have 7 minutes to spare, take a look at it.

Does math predicts music success?

These guys strongly believe it. But hey, what about free jazz?
