I’m sure you’re pirating most of your music nowadays; you probably have a torrent client opened up right now, swallowing tracks from the next pop-up site that will allow you to get away with it. It’s probably been a couple years since you last slid a CD into something, or purchased a product that allows you to put a disc in it. What about the packaging though? Seems like music really has to sell its sound to make its way toward any ear canals. Some of you must miss reading the liners, the album art. How do you feel about apps becoming the emerging consumer experience in the music industry? Maybe if music makes it worth your other sense’s while, you should join the AMA session on Reddit (currently in progress) with superstar app creator, Scott Snibbe, who is announcing his latest “app EP” for Passion Pit. Julia Kaganskiy from the The Creators Project explains thusly:The app allows fans to experience Passion Pit's tracks in two different ways. The first is as a generative music video that's different each time, serving up a unique combination of graphics, animations and photographs by Mark Borthwick, who did the album art for Gossamer. Additionally, users are able to affect the visuals using the touch screen to alter the look of videos. The second mode allows fans to remix the stems from Passion Pit's tracks to create new versions of the songs. For "Take A Walk," users create new melodies on top of a backing track using a kind of harp-string spider web interface. For "Carried Away," the song's various stems can be turned on and off to compose new versions of the track, or "play" the original track live.Read more over at our sister-who-we’ve-been-meaning-to-grab-a-drink-with’s blog, The Creators Project
