Listening App for Guitarists Shatters Barriers of Musical Expression
A new article has been published at prMac.
Listening App for Guitarists Shatters Barriers of Musical Expression - Published on 05/14/14
JamSpring is very proud to announce the limited pre-release of their revolutionary listening technology app, which allows guitar players of any level to instantly start creating songs and jam with others. JamSpring allows users to create and share the music inside them all without memorizing scales, music theory, or the fret board! The app will launch in late 2014, but is now available on a limited pre-order basis until May 30th at an attractive one time introductory price.
London, United Kingdom - JamSpring is very proud to announce the limited pre-release of their revolutionary listening technology app, which allows guitar players of any level to instantly start creating songs and jam with others.
JamSpring listens to users play a series of guitar chords or notes, transcribes what it has heard into simple to read tablature form, and generates a virtual guitar neck. This shows how additional parts can be constructed, meaning knowledge of scales or music theory is no longer a prerequisite for jamming & songwriting. The entire composition is again captured in tablature form so users can record their ideas for riffs, solos and chords. Users can download and share their compositions with friends next door or new jam partners on the other side of the globe allowing collaboration to take place anytime, anywhere, with anyone.
As co-founder Darren Brady puts it, "Sometimes, what you hear in your head doesn't really come out of your guitar. Whether you're stuck creatively or just don't know that much about scales and music theory, JamSpring's sole purpose is to shatter the barriers between creativity and actual expression. You only need to be able to play a few basic chords and JamSpring will guide you from there, giving you suggestions for alternative chords, riffs, solos and even bass lines. There's nothing holding you back anymore!"
JamSpring is just as powerful a tool in the hands of experienced guitarists, who will most appreciate its tablature transcription capabilities. Whether they want to improve their playing, need inspiration, transcribe ideas into tablature or just want to be able to express themselves without the hassle of learning all the scales and theory, this app provides all the tools necessary for guitarists of Every level.
"It's all about expressing your musical ideas with the world (or just yourself) in the simplest way possible, whenever and wherever, without obstacles. Just think about how many people quit playing guitar because they got stuck at some point, or because they didn't meet the right people to play with", Brady continues. "They could have been the next John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix, but, sadly, we'll never know. We want to shatter the barriers keeping our users from expressing their musical ideas and free them to create the incredible music which lives inside of each of us."
JamSpring will be released later this year, but is available at an attractive discount on a limited pre-order basis. Brady concludes, "The pre-release window will not be open for long, so people need to act fast if they don't want to miss this amazing opportunity to get a great deal and change the way they play guitar forever- regardless of whether their ambition is simply to be a casual bedroom performer or chase Total World Domination (Bill & Ted's style)."

JamSpring was founded in 2014 by two friends & guitar enthusiasts from the Great State of New Jersey. One a serial entrepreneur, the other a gifted programmer- Darren (now based in London) & Dan (Now based in Portland, OR)- started JamSpring with the sole purpose of shattering the barriers of musical expression. With our unique listening technology it becomes easier than ever before to compose songs and collaborate with others regardless of your skill level or location. We really do believe every single one of us has brilliant music inside our heads- we are here to help you make it a reality. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2014 JamSpring.

New Jazz App released by Webpractice
A new article has been published at prMac.
New Jazz App released by Webpractice - Published on 05/14/14
Webpractice has now published a new Jazz App for beginners and schools. Jazz Trumpet Level 1 gives music students an incredible practice tool by allowing almost complete control of the playback. The new app also allows users to isolate and even loop any trouble areas of a song and that makes music practice much more fun and productive. Jazz Trumpet Level 1 contains the three Bits and Pieces songs with each version having its own variation of the melody and different backing track.
Llandysul, United Kingdom - Webpractice is pleased to add a new dimension to the Dallas School of Music dlp Jazz Books; Jazz Trumpet Level 1. The app gives music students an incredible practice tool by allowing almost complete control of the playback on dlp's backing tracks- including the melody only tracks. The eto folks have done a great job of giving learners the ability to control their practice routines and practise at their own pace, working gradually up to each performance tempo. The new app also allows users to isolate and even loop any trouble areas of a song and that makes music practice much more fun and productive.
The app's music basis is the tried, tested and well respected playalong material of the Dallas Music School (dlp) Jazz Book series; Trumpet Level 1. This app contains the three Bits and Pieces songs with each version having its own variation of the melody and different backing track. A full, real live jazz combo is there with which you can practice and play 24/7. The first, Bits and Pieces 1, has a range of notes from D to B (trumpet pitch) and is a really cool melody with swing 8s.
Bits and Pieces 2 pushes you to play E to D (trumpet pitch) with a more rhythmically sophisticated melody in a Latin feel with straight 8s. The third Bits and Pieces 3, has a Latin straight 8 feel first time through and a cool swing second time. The note range is the same as Bits and Pieces 2 but you are extended because there is a more chromatic flavour to the new melody....introducing you to to some sharps and flats.
Don't worry; as was at the beginning you can slow up the melody and the backing track, isolate difficult sections and work at your own pace; with or without the melody playing, with or without the accompaniment playing.
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 118 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Jazz Trumpet Level 1 v.1.0 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.

About Jenifer Toksvig:
Jenifer Toksvig was born in New York, grew up in England, and feels very at home in Denmark. As a writer of musicals, she's written many original stories and adaptations for young people to perform, including: The Curious Quest for the Sandman's Sand, Skool & Crossbones, Shake, Ripple & Roll, Pandemonium! (a Greek Myth-adventure) and The Nutcracker with composer David Perkins; Terry Pratchett's Mort with composer Dominic Haslam; The Queen of Snow and Geraldine McCaughrean's The Stones Are Hatching with composer Alexander Rudd. In other work, with her company The Copenhagen Interpretation, Jenifer explores the crossover world of theatre and gaming, experimenting with new ways for audiences to engage with live and transmedia performance.
One of these explorations is an adaptation of Sandi Toksvig's novel Hitler's Canary. Jenifer also makes work in collectives of creative friends. Such tribal work includes The Chaosbaby Project and Seeing Red. She's a keen proponent of Open Space Technology, is a member of every union and support group going, and a keen advocate for the rights of writers, and opportunities for the support and development of new work, especially in facilitating the taking of risks, and advancement of the form of musical theatre in particular, and storytelling in general. In her spare time, of which there is none, Jenifer likes to knit, loves gatherings of loved ones for Sunday lunch, and really wants a dog.

Sakoos is a Unique Visual Discovery Social Network
A new article has been published at prMac.
Sakoos is a Unique Visual Discovery Social Network - Published on 05/14/14
Sakoos from DigitalRev Limited is a one-of-a-kind visual discovery social network that enables users to create their unique profile, and then take photos of the fun objects they own or carry with them; tag each object; share their tagged items with other Sakoos users; explore and discover items of inter- est that they can "like" and comment on as they wish. Bloggers and content creators can use the app to generate "clickable" and interactive "what's in my bag" widget.
Cupertino, California - In a mobile app world where the overwhelming majority of social networking apps are either duplications of past efforts or uncreative attempts that fail to create excitement, it's definitely good news when something as interestingly unique and refreshing as Sakoos comes along.
Designed by the producer of the renowned YouTube show DigitalRev TV, and available at no-cost in the App Store, Sakoos - which derives its name from the Latin word "saccus" which means "carrying bags" - is a one-of-a-kind visual discovery social network that enables users to create their unique profile (picture + description), and then:
* Take photos of the fun objects they own or carry with them in bags, knapsacks, pockets, purses or anywhere else. Photos can also be imported directly from photo library or an Instagram account.
* Tag each object - such as a pen, a purse, lipstick, hand cream, iPhone, camera, keys, or about anything else one might carry - through the app's excellent tagging interface.
* Share their tagged items with other Sakoos users, while they explore and discover items of interest that they can "like" and comment on.
* Discover interesting people via the app's search function, which enables search by usernames as well by tags.
Plus, bloggers and content creators can use the app the generate "clickable" and interactive "what's in my bag" widget which can then be easily embedded to their blogs and sites. Instead of describing what's in the bag, content creators will appreciate the little fun widget which enables their readers to click and discover.
"The idea of Sakoos was built on a single and simple question that we ask each other all the time: what's in your bag?" commented Richard Yu, the producer of DigitalRev TV and maker of Sakoos. "Although the idea of discovering products may initially seem materialistic, it's actually much more profound than that. The objects we carry in many ways reflect and express who we are, what is important to us, and what we want other people to know about us. It's like an unspoken, yet unifying language that transcends the boundaries that often keep us apart."
Added Richard: "At the same time, Sakoos is a celebration of engineering, design, craftsmanship, creativity, manufacturing and ingenuity. Whether it's a finely crafted leather case, or a sophisticated piece of consumer technology, users can appreciate and admire remarkable items that really demonstrate, for all of the problems we have in our world, that we human beings can really create amazing, cool and inspiring things when we want to! People are all different, and it is reflected in the items we carry with us. In the sense I felt that the app is also a celebration of diversity in our humanity"
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 8.7 MB

Sakoos 1.0.4, the brilliant new no-cost app that uses a unique visual discovery social network to let users share and explore the fun items they carry and own, is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.
