iOS Device for Looping (ala Brecker)
Electronista had this article up about musician getting rid of all this effects pedals in favor of an iOS device.
British street performer and musician Dub FX says he’s considering getting rid of the range of effects pedals he usually uses — to loop his voice and other instruments in the process of creating his beatboxing-based songs — in favor of an iPhone, thanks to the recent release of Loopy v2. So enthusiastic is he about the program that he has posted an unpaid video tutorial for the app
Ok, this isn’t exactly a Michael Brecker using an iPad for looping…..but imagine if he were alive and had access to stuff like Dub FX has. Imagine what else he could have done with Song for Barry. Technology is amazing.
Sheet Of The Week (Bonus 2) – Bicycle Race (Queen)
Since it is a holiday weekend, and that the Tour de France is happening, and that punk ass Alberto Contador isn’t doing well, I feel like giving out yet another bonus sheet. It’s only fitting it be by Queen. Versus TV used this for the 2005 Tour de France when Lance Armstrong was going for win SEVEN.

Eddie is NOT a Doubler
Some Skunk Funk on Recorder

Carbon Fiber Necks?
“Custom-made high-quality saxophone necks, made of top quality carbon fiber and water-resistant epoxy resin coated with ultraviolet-light-resistant polyurethane, are designed by musician/engineer Antoine Lefebvre and Zen Composites. For any wind instrument, composite materials may replace copper to produce stiffer, lighter and shock resistant bodies, which may be particularly attractive for large brass winds and saxophones”
Except that saxophone necks aren’t made of copper…..I don’t think. Interesting stuff though. Wonder if it sounds better than the plastic saxophones….
Sheet Of The Week (Bonus) – Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley)
Ever been “rickrolled”? Then you know this song. Interesting factoid is that he has only made $12 from all the “rickrolling” that happened. Gotta love the music industry.

Sheet Of The Week – Careless Whisper (Wham)
Ok, you’ve seen that stupid SexySaxmanSaxogram video right? This is the song that has that opening lick in it. Not a bad song at all, just some idiots decided to be obnoxious and video them playing it where people don’t want it played.

The Future Of “Jazz”?…..I Hope Not
I seriously hope this sorta of stuff is not the future of music. I mean…..it is just stupid….
