iBand crafting canorous concoctions
Quite possibly a first: iBand is a group of innovative musicians taking iPhone music applications to the next level. Using a combination of iAno, PocketGuitar, iPhoneSynth and BeatPhone, they've created a sound (Mike Oldfield meets Mario Bros.?) that is certain to spawn some creative offshoots amongst musically inclined iPhone owners. There are already several video responses to their YouTube presentation.
If nothing else, they get due credit for a great execution of the idea. I'm sure that, with the presence of multiple music synthesis apps for the iPhone, there is a lot of musical innovation taking place. We'd be curious to hear about other mellifluous iPhone adventures. Maybe some of our own readers have already explored the pocket-sized music frontier in ways we haven't considered yet!
Check out the iBand website for a little explanation and, hopefully, more updates as the idea develops.
Thanks Kacy!

They definitely aren't the best band out there. But I think since they are just in middle school, maybe we can cut them a little slack.
There is a pretty big chiptune underground, people making music with Gameboys, old Commodore 64s and the like. They perform live, tour etc. So there is no reason that with a little practice these kids can't do similarly.
Wow, lighten up guys.....
I liked it.
Yep. I'm getting kind of sick of seeing them on every tech blog and video site.
It's cute, but it's not as if it's new. Maybe the instruments weren't iPhones before, but the whole idea of taking something that's not a musical instrument and then performing music with it is OLD.
They're basically STOMP with iPhones and less rhythm.
Wow the iBand iSucks.
