Make Music With Your Friends On Your Cellphones

Roland Piquepaille writes "In "Cellphone software allows a musical jam," the New Scientist writes that English engineers have found a way for groups of people to collectively create music using their cellphones. "Nick Bryan-Kinns and his colleagues at Queen Mary College (QMC) have developed the "daisyphone" software that let will groups of people phone into a mobile number and work together to improvise short, looping tunes." My blog gives you more details on the project and includes a screen capture of the creation of some school kids after using the software. You can try daisyphone by yourself (providing you have Java 1.4.1). I certainly hope you'll be better than me. "
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
