Anything Bjork ever does is noteworthy, musically speaking, and now that she’s decided to release her next album Biophilia, as a multimedia project comprised of 10 iPad apps, she’s also become noteworthy in a technological sense.
Remember how the Gorillaz were recording their new album almost entirely on an iPad? Now you can download it for free! It sounds…somewhere between “good” and “like it was recorded on an iPad.” And here are the apps they used:
newVideoPlayer( {"type":"video","player":"http://www.youtube.com/v/0b_Dva-KBls&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22","customParams":[] ,"width":500,"height":400,"ratio":0.824,"flashData":"","embedName":null,"objectId":null,"noEmbed":false,"source":"youtube","wrap":true,"agegate":false} ); It’s a fact: everyone sounds better Autotuned. Smule’s I Am T-Pain app now lets you send autotuned voicemails to friends and family for a small fee. Because there’s no better time than the present to start calling your Aunt “shawty.”
In 2008, the App Store rejected the app for Knife Music, a novel penned by Giz friend and CNet editor Dave Carnoy, for “objectionable” content, and he was forced to censor his book to gain admittance. Now, backed by a major publisher, a new Knife Music app has been accepted to the App Store, naughty language and all.
