App maker Smule just released their Magic Fiddle, and the St. Lawrence String Quartet took the bait. Couldn’t they have at least picked something more upbeat that Pachelbel’s Canon?
When I saw Lang Lang play his iPad, I thought it was kind of cute.
But it gets old really quick.
There’s something about this marketing campaign that’s just depressing. It turns the music into a joke or a stunt. I’m not sure whether people are laughing with or at the musicians: Hey, look at those dorks in the tuxes playing Mozart on iPads. What a bunch of dorks.
There are musicians out there who are using iPads as music-making tools. Do you know of any?
