Talk about the art of bending strings

by

This video is about a guitarist who decided to use his iPhone to record what his strings would look like from the inside out, while actually playing it. He wanted to see what the oscillating strings would appear like from this vantage point.

I’ve never really thought about this perspective so I was a little interested. This effect is thought to be brought on by the Rolling Shutter issues that exist on the iPhone. It’s been well know to all those phone techies out there.

I have a Nokia N8 and it doesn’t have this problem. I know this because I just tried it. I do have an iPOD though and I’m wondering if it has the same controversy as it’s sibling the iPhone. Na, I’ll just Google it! I hope you enjoy the video!

Keep on Jammin’





Robots taking over Rock & Roll bands?

by

We sometimes hear of stories about machines/robots that have taken over our jobs but how about this new collection of hardware and software that plays music? This band is called E.O.L. (End of Life). The band is performing a tune called The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. When that song first came out I fell in love with it.

The guy goes by the name BD594 on Youtube and he said that it took him 2 months to finish the act with his robotic band mates. I think it pretty funny and I just had to show someone!

Dom, Eddie I think that we have finally met our match. While watching the video for the first time, I observed that friend pinhead’s job is the only one who’s instrument might be safe, damn downsizing pencil pushers! That 4 stringed instrument is called a cello in case you didn’t realize it and it doesn’t fit most peoples interpretation of what a real bass guitar is? No bass player(s) have been eradicated during the pre-production of this video … I think?
