Every once in awhile, you come across simple innovation that transcends common action. I was browsing through the Ableton website, when this particular link caught my attention.
Sound designer, Diego Stocco crafted his own instrument, the “Fence Bass” to create a dark, cinematic sound, which he loops LIVE through the Ableton interface to create nihilistic sonic textures in a piece he calls “Dustland”.
Needless to say, I’m impressed by the magnitude and inspiration of the craft, and the recording process. The video below reveals more.

Every music geek should be excited about this very awesome iPhone4 cover that turns your iPhone4 into a giant mixtape. It’s incredibly gimmicky, you can’t even charge your phone when the cover’s on, but it really is that awesome gimmick that’ll let everyone know what a fun geek you are, and to take you and your music tastes very seriously. Well, till you run out of juice and look like an idiot revealing your iPhone4 for what it is, and defibrillate it at the nearest power point.

If you’re fan of Oceansize’s delay drenched and skull bashing guitar sounds, you’ll love this video that Music Radar have so kindly produced, so that gear heads like you and me can continue to lust after intricately engineered transistors housed within metal casings.
Recognise this latest mobile marvel? Looks spiffy init? Full 360-degree rotating screen, 10-inch keyboard.. it’s that dream tablet PC you always wanted. No WAIT! It’s an iPad!
Whut???? Read on and find out.
I’ve been craving an iPad ever since Apple announced it last year, but a couple of factors have been preventing me from satiating that technolust. Namely:
1. The price point (I was only working part time at the time.)
2. I’m waiting to see what upgrades the next generation of iPads will get, especially if its going to get the iPhone4’s retina display.
However, after watching this video by ClamCase, it just makes me get all fuzzy inside. Basically, this resounding piece of gadgetry transforms your iPad into a netbook with a touchscreen! (sans the USB ports.)
I am so in love with this on so many levels, the design, the way it integrates so effortlessly with an already wonderful piece of technology, and pretty much makes it better!
