How To Release Music On Twitter - A Reunited Blur Does It Right Guest post by Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm. Yes, Twitter is a ridiculously-constrained communications medium — a holdover from the dumb-phone days when text could only be sent from phone to phone in 140-character chunks. And yet, we love it, perhaps due to these constraints. Everywhere else, we’re drowning in words, images, video, and so on, while Twitter remains the same dirt-simple protocol. As such, Twitter doesn’t make for a natural music platform the way, say, YouTube or Spotify does. But it does have two things going for it: immediacy and scale. The seminal ’90s britpop band Blur, which has reformed and appears to have learned a thing or two from frontman Damon Albarn’s experiments with technology in his Gorillaz project as well as his iPad album and instrument app. Next Monday, July 2, Blur will become “the first” band to play a live show on Twitter.

Hoy se lanza Bandplify, un sitio pensado para ayudar a bandas emergentes escrito por @efejotaele el Tuesday, 26 de June del 2012 Hace unas semanas Alberto, uno de los creadores detrás de Bandplify, nos contactó para contarnos del inminente lanzamiento su sitio. Inmediatamente nos interesó porque creemos que apunta a los problemas que muchas bandas que nos contactan han sufrido o sufren. Los mismos creadores nos explican de qué va Bandplify en el siguiente video: A continuación algunas preguntas que les hicimos a sus creadores: ¿Quién está detrás de Bandplify? En estos momento el equipo de Bandplify es pequeño, ya que sólo somos dos personas las que dedicamos el 100% de nuestro tiempo al proyecto. ¿Cómo surgió ésta idea de cooperación entre bandas? Conocemos la relación entre bandas desde hace más de diez años porque hemos podido vivirla en primera persona por la experiencia con nuestro propio grupo. ¿Cuál es el panorama actual que viven los grupos emergentes en España y en el mundo?
Stunning Ink Portraits Fragmented in Water These portraits by self-taught Italian artist Alberto Seveso are so original! He presents us with representations of human faces that are scattered across the canvas in broken swirls of color. Seveso is well-known for his many amazing ink-in-water photographs and these are no exception. The base of each image is formed from the process of ink slowly mixing and interacting underwater. In the fragmented ink blobs, Seveso identifies features that become the foundation for his portraits. He then uses his master skills with computer software to merge two photographs together into one unique portrait. Using only females, beautiful eyes peer out from broken sections as the rest of the figure dissolves into wisps of ink. Alberto Seveso's website via [Photojojo]
Une Chapelle « Gremlins » du XVe siècle près de Nantes Gremlins, Goldorak, Gizmo…. La chapelle de Bethléem, en Loire-Atlantique, fut restaurée avec des gargouilles (chimères) en référence à l’époque contemporaine. Classée au titre des monuments historiques en 1911, restaurée de 1993 à 1995, la chapelle présente des pinacles où certaines des chimères nouvellement créées sont issues de la culture cinématographique américaine et de l’animation japonaise. 28 chimères à découvrir dont Gizmo, Gremlins, Goldorak, Alien… Lors de la restauration de la chapelle, se pose la question de replacer les pinacles aux angles du bâtiment, disparus. Chaque chimère est une création, sur la base de la symbolique connue pour chaque pinacle.
5 Things Schools Need to Teach Musicians About the Music Industry | The Musician's Guide The music industry is a business and operates like any other business. Success can take a small amount of luck, but you can increase your chances by heeding a few lessons. Those who are looking at music as a career must understand that the music business is essentially selling a product. There are many books, courses, and resources out there to educate you. Don’t rely on the Hollywood image; there may be hard work and research ahead. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A bit of merchandise can give something else back to a loyal fan base, but don’t go overboard; stickers, CD’s and maybe a T-Shirt should be enough. In the earliest stages, it is unlikely that you’re going to be making much money, but spend your money wisely; a few beers after the show with another band can go further than hoarding the money for the next shipment of customised plectrums and drum sticks. Your band is your product; your commodity.
