Noise Trade

NoiseTrade.com is a new site that I was told about through a californian connection. Her email to me (and I assume a lot of others) runs as follows …

Just when you thought you had heard everything ….something new comes along. There is a new music effort out of Nashville that really reminds me of the first time someone from MIT sent me a link to a “brand new website” called FaceBook. Yes. I joined that and it looks like a lot of other people did, too.

Now, a brilliant young musician named David Mead has turned me on to a new site called www.NoiseTrade.com. We predict that this will turn the music industry on its ear. It is very simple, you go to a link like this one:

https://www.noisetrade.com/davidmead

and you can either recommend the record to five people and get it for free OR you can pay what you want.

I chose to pay and recommend privately because David Mead has offered to help us create a DVD for our Literacy Center Education Network non-profit called Lullabies for Literacy. He is also going to donate a portion of the profits from his next tour to us.

But the absolute best part is David Mead’s music. I can’t listen to his song called “Little Boats” without crying. It is so evocative of a little child moving between two parents. Like all his songs, it is incredibly beautiful and emotionally powerful.

So, I encourage you to give it a try. Don’t forget to tell your musician friends about it!

With joy and love, I send Season’s Greetings from the Literacy Center Education Network (www.literacycenter.net) ! In 2008, we had 35 million page views from children in 220 countries, so we have a lot to be grateful for.

I tried the link she sent of Davd Meade’s stuff – it wasn’t available. That aside – the site seems to offer another way for new music to get to the masses.

A Music App For The iPhone

Burning Shed co-founder Peter Chilvers has collaborated with ambient pioneer Brian Eno to create ‘Bloom’, exploring uncharted territory in the realm of applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allow anyone to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player takes over when Bloom is left idle, creating an infinite selection of compositions and their accompanying visualisations.

“Bloom is an endless music machine, a music box for the 21st Century. You can play it, and you can watch it play itself.” – Brian Eno
