Tech & Classical - some thoughts and links

Whether it is with music criticism, studying sheet music or the actual physical product of an album, these 3 people have changed what is available to us as listeners...and have given us new opportunities to participate.

Robert Taub's work has lead to a variety of developments, from a Auto-tune style App called ImproVox to a completely new way to read and practice music. The NY Times did a great profile of him and the work that his company MuseAmi is doing.

Tristan Perich's new digital music making album in a CD case called 1-Bit Symphony from Bang on a Can. Watch the video at 1-Bit Symphony really fantastic...looking forward to getting mine.

Christopher Weingarten gives us 1,000 Times Yes. Music review authorship in the age of Twitter makes for these short poems of music criticism. It is entertaining and informative and lets not forget it is the kind of funny that music geeks love!
