We All Make Music
Comprehensive instructional videos on recording techniques can be hard to love. They can be extremely dry, offer an overabundance of information, and can generally be difficult to navigate though in order to find the answers you are looking for. But Studio Concepts, Gear and the Physics of Sound, the first installment of ASKVideo's The Studio Edge: Pro Audio Audio Recording Series, while still slightly on the dry side, manages to successfully surmount other two aforementioned issues. Throughout Studio Concepts, Jim ...

Video: More Digital Music and Marketing Services Than You Could Use in a Lifetime

The number of online options available to help create, distribute, market and sell music can be overwhelming. Navigating through the maze is a large part of why Hypebot was created. Hypebot is a filter, and the answer is not to use everything, but rather those that fit each artist. Time, comfort with technology and cost should all be considered. But most importantly, ask where are the fans and can this help reach them? Using deadpan (or maybe uncomfortable) delivery, this ...

Andy Grammer has an interactive music video out. Users engage with the content and make decisions in real-time. Once selected, the course of the story switches. The scene changes are seamless.

DVD: Jimi Hendrix - The Guitar Hero (2010)

Something Else!
By Nick Deriso “The Guitar Hero" moves away from the tabloid side of the Jimi Hendrix myth, instead delving into the American guitarist's sweeping impact on rock music and the instrument. That makes director Jon Brewer's film not so much a biography, per se, as it is tone-poem love letter to Hendrix's muse, and how it finally ignited. I think, at this late date, that makes it more interesting. For me, reanimating his playing legend—a still-indelible blending of African-American roots-music ...
