"Fractal": Music from things not usually considered instruments
Ever since getting my iphone, I've been interested in the idea of the "Music App" - something which could actually be used to make music. There's more than a few videos of "iPhone bands" etc.; but that's not what we were going for. Rebecca Harmony is playing a Nintedo game thing (the DS Lite or the more recent one, I think); she's using 2 different apps. I'm using my trusty iPhone 3G, and also using 2 different apps, the second of which is called "Bebot". Although there is a certain amount of compositional structure to the piece, it's more like an "event list". But I think the real fascination for me is the ability to make relatively interesting music
from non-standard instruments. This performance was recorded at the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance Annual Musician's COncert (which I organize).
Originally I had thought of the name "Jetsons Family Band", because it does make me think of futuristic stuff we used to see on TV when we were kids.... Of course Rebecca refused the name, lol! Smart girl. :)
