iPhone music software: This is a demo of SoundFields (App Store link), a new iPhone music app that’s designed to make it easy for people that don’t have a good ear for music to play tunes.
Not sure if that’s a good thing or not, though.

This is a demonstration of a kid-powered “Drum Panel/Synthesizer” for playgrounds:
“Buttons” are simple regions of plastic shaped in circles with vibration sensors. A wavelet analysis bank is used to separate “hits” in a specific location from random structural vibrations and hits that may have happened elsewhere.
It also has a cool voice/rhythm record mode. After the first demo of the voice record/ playback the unit runs out of juice. One gets anywhere from 45-seconds to 3 minutes depending on how the unit is used.
This is more of a sample playback device than a synth, but the hand-cranked kid-powered action is pretty sweet.

Tiesto To Headline DJ Hero Game
It looks like those DJ Hero rumors are true.
In his latest email newsletter, Dutch trance superstar DJ Tiesto let slip that he’s involved in the development of a DJing version of Guitar Hero, DJ Hero.
“I am very excited about this!” says Tiësto. “I think this is a great way to introduce people into DJing”.
While DJ Hero is just a video game – it’s sure to have a significant influence on the world of electronic dance music.
“I am sure this brings new fans to the scene,” says Tiesto. “Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!”
In February 2008, Activision filed to trademark the name DJ Hero.
