Download SOUNDS, man
Jul 10Wired has an interesting piece up about the upswing in sales for musical instruments, even as the music industry suffers a slump they continue to blame on us evil downloading pirates, instead of the crippling absence of music that isn’t shitty. Apparently there’s some intriguing infringements on the almighty intellectual property of the music industry coming from, of all places, guitar manufacturers.
I’m always fascinated by the technology of making music, even if I rarely understand it. The section about guitar players seeking magical boxes that can make them sound like Brian May on “Bohemian Rhapsody” or Jimi Hendrix on “Purple Haze” is fascinating. I kinda see the point about how people maybe should learn how to play the sounds themselves, instead of relying on tech to make it easy. But JESUS, easy shit is COOL. And also easy.
