READ MUSIC AND PLAY IT BACK REAL-TIME - GAKUFU CAMERA BY KAWAI

Most genius musicians were not the literate to music notes. However in 2011, thanks to the folks at Kawai, there is an app that make playing notes easy. The Gakufu Camera is only available in the Japanese App Store. Basically this app scans the music notes, then play the melody of the notes scanned.
I hope this app come to America and SOON.

The video below is not in English, but you should get the idea.

TRACKDROPPER - THE MUSIC GEOTAGGING

I bet if schools taught Geography using locations based on artist or songs the youth would all ace that subject. Here is an app developed to do geotagging using songs. I think this idea is great, should be used with Tourism. This project remind me of the Soundwalk/Louis Vuitton Audio Guide that came out some time ago. Record Labels, take note if I were in your shoes I would use this app to do scavenger hunts for fans to find an album release party. Also this could be marketing tool for greatest hits albums, and etc.

FYI- If a label does jump on this give me credit and a check please! Thanks In Advance!

MUSICALLY DEPRIVED? CREATE iDEAS WITH THE iPHONE AND iPAD

In today's world musical artist, independent and signed, are now soul controllers of releasing content into the world. It seems to me Apple products go hand in hand with musicians,for instance in 2008 Erykah Badu got creative with Garageband. She then used that program for recording her album. Well I wanted to add inspiration for my Gcode Musicans! There are creative music apps for the iPhone and iPad.

The first App is called LaDiDa, it's a reverse version of karaoke.

The second App is called Zoozbeat.This App will allow you remix a song however you feel.

Check out how this one group by the name of Atom Tom get busy on the NYC Train.
More train musicians should be like them, creative and original.




My final showcase is my favorite. This artist by the name of Pixie Tea creates a beat, song, and even a music video using apps. You can read more about it here. She gets a A+ for creativity.




Here Pixie tea gets busy with a iPad, iPhone, PSP, and a Nintendo DS.




So for all of you that complain that you don't have access to the tools to create music and let the world experience your talent, STOP BEING LAZY AND COMPLAINING!

BIG UP to and shout out to Pixie Tea and Atom Tom and I hope you all make money and sell tunes! I remember I walked in apps similar to these to a certain record label, and they slept, so my advice to record companies is give creative tools to creative people.

If I was Apple this stuff would be Ads, to all my Blackberry folks, your phone can't do none of this lol!
