iBand – Playing Music without real instruments

Creative Approach To Music: Instruments that aren’t Instruments
A friend of mine sent me this video a while back, and I absolutely LOVE the concept. Here are three guys that want to make music, and they found a creative way to do it. They’re playing very un-traditional instruments. In fact, many would say they’re not even playing “instruments”.
Two of them have iPhones, one of them has a Nintendo DS.
They each have a different program… one of them is some kind of random noise/beat generator, one is a piano, and one is a bass. They play them together to make a pretty cool song.
I love stuff like this. Watching people come up with ideas like this makes my brain work a little harder trying to come up with something original as well.
Here’s the video:

Welcome To Creative-Music.org
Welcome! This blog is not really intended to give you step by step instructions on how to do some kind of creative music project (since it seems like that maybe defeats the purpose of wanting to be creative!) Instead, I hope to inspire you with ideas, examples, and exercises meant to get you thinking more creatively about how you write or perform your music.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT A MUSICIAN...
You still might appreciate some of the things we'll be talking about. The ideas are going to focus on music because I love music, but if you're creative enough, you can apply a lot of the basics to whatever art you may be into.
