You might remember I’ve written about Star6 before – it’s a performance music app for the iPhone and iPod Touch (here and here). Well Jason Forrest, the guy behind it (along with Agile Partners) decided it was about time to take this thing live – in Berlin!
The video is really a lot of fun but more importantly, it shows how each of the musicians used the app in a different way.
The music spans a WIDE spectrum, from a Banjo, Accordion and iPhone cover of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl”, to an electro-jazz and drum meltdown, to a delicate meditation on Eastern composition to bombastic drone noise – we had it all last week! Plus you can hear how responsive the audience was as the vibe for the party was really upbeat and curious about the app! This was the first event of it’s kind, and based on how great the response was, we’re currently working to arrange similar events in major cities around the world.
There’s a compilation video showing about a minute of each of the sets here: http://vimeo.com/6530701
And 4 of the 6 full sets are online too:
- Ben Butler and Mousepad – http://www.vimeo.com/6528730
- Guido Mobius – http://www.vimeo.com/6499341
- Kiki Moorse (ex-Chicks On Speed) – http://www.vimeo.com/6499787
- Jason Forrest – http://www.vimeo.com/6499572
As Jason says – check it out, it’s a lot of fun – and you if you fancy rocking out too, you can find the App on the App Store.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
