Quantcast



On second thought, I'm not 100 percent positive I can call this "rocking out," but it is awfully pretty for music created using phones and a DS. Band member Sebastian Wober shared some details about the project:
Since Electroplankton on the Nintendo DS we constantly think about implementing those sounds, and since the iPhone we like to play with PocketGuitar (played in the clip by Roland Dell'mour.) Now that iAno came out (played by Marina Dell'mour) we just had to try this out! As you said in your article: there has to be an iPhone band! It's the next step. And as we're devoted Giz readers we thought we'd give it a shot and sat down to improvise a little and pressed record on that digital camera.

Unfortunately we only have two iPhones, so we dug out that dusty Nintendo DS. But we want to take it further. There are some guys with iPod touches in our neighbourhood, so we'll gather them and add a drumset with the BeatPhone app and a guitar and lose the DS. So you can expect another song in the next weeks.

No DS love? Merely a substitute? But....I thought you loved the DS, iBand. I really did. It gets tossed aside for the technological wonder of the iPhone, apparently. Well, I never.

That's pretty cool, quite melodic really. Can't wait for the third iPhone to get in there.

Pretty cool, almost makes me want an iPhone. Except they suck, of course.

I was about to skip this over, but the fact that I clicked play and then sat at rapt attention the entire time is a testament to the win in there.

THat's some cool stuff, though i want to see more people making music with the DS guitar things and such.

I think the "DS hate" is simply because the large, multitouch screen is far superior for this kind of stuff.

Are you kidding? They should ADD a DS. With Jam Sessions. Then they could actually rock out.

I thought the DS added alot of alternate melody and cadence to the jam. Sounds very cool and should be recordable to play as backround music for your games.

That dosen't exist already does it?
