Easy sharing for Music Technology Educators
Have you come across Zotero? If you haven’t it is a plugin for Firefox that I could not do without. It allows you to collect your web resources together in one place, synchronize them between computers, add notes, even store related PDFs, files, images, and links in your library. You can then use the Zotero [...]
Recordings in the classroom without the hassle
In case you haven’t come across Spotify, I thought I would pass on the word. For some time now I have been using Spotify, which is in internet based service that provides instant access to a library of music. For example, say you want a recording of a Beethoven quartet…search for “Beethoven Quartet” and 2217 [...]
AFL Resources (Course downloads)
Afl Modules 1 & 2 View more presentations from prk24. After running a course last week on AFL I though I would post some resources which I found helpful here. The course was designed not to give answers but to encourage reflection so that you can find your own. I think that if you understand [...]
Garageband for windows?
I am often asked if I know of any programs for windows that are similar to Garageband. Well, if you have the luxury of a small budget then I would recommend mixcraft at the moment. The screen feels just as streamlined as Garageband. They have taken out a lot of the ‘clutter’ of other sequencers [...]
Quick note: time critical!
Following an inset I ran a couple of weeks ago Charles kindly told me that the latest edition of computer music has “an extensive article on mobile music looking at apps for various types of hand held devices. It’s very useful and expands on some of the apps we covered as well as looking at [...]
How good are your sounds?
A while ago I came across this video and stored it away as I thought it would come in useful at some point. At the time I thought it was pretty neat but not much more… I revisited this by chance the other day after running a seminar on using new technologies for music teaching [...]
W3 for music eduicators #9- Ardour
If you haven’t seen this yet – then I would really recommend taking a look. Go to http://ardour.org/ It is the most impressive open source music project I have yet to come across (and audacity takes some beating).
Who's music is it anyway?
Found myself reading ignatia’s blog today which discusses connectivism (which could be thought of as a particular approach to thinking and acting with technology) and what simmilarities it shares with interpretivism and critical social science. While many interesting questions are raised I came across the following which relates to my thinking here on Music technology in [...]
New Interfaces
Came across this cool video today – some really neat concepts. I would like to see what this would look and sound like when used as a musical interface: multiple pitches, variable positioning = dynamics/timbre, maybe split right/left hand to control different parameters (maybe effects and Equalization). There is so much potential here…. Take a [...]
Beaterator
I came across an introduction to Beaterator today here – a new one for me. Already online here and out for sony PSP on Sept 29th. What caught my attention was the possibility of creating your own loops in a package like this (my guess is aimed at the ‘dabbler’). It seems like more and [...]
