The Iphone and the Music Instrument

I read online about the new college course called Iphone Music in the latest editon of Wired Magaizine. The course is a class that teaches about the creation of music on the Iphone. The Iphone today has evolved from a touch screen phone to a phone that can virtually do anything you want with it. You can send files, emails, play games, take photos, etc and the next step is to create music on the Iphone

The course teaches you to manipulate the phones configuration system in order to create music programs. For example, the creation of a synthesizer pad on the Iphone. The Iphone is a touch screen phone and it has the function of having a miniature synthesizer pad at your fingertips. The college course also teaches you how to manipulate the software inside the phone, for example the compass. The students learn how to change the way the compass works, so instead of the compass searching for a direction, it searches for wave pitches and by using the phones built-in sensors and also depending on the way you move the phone, the sound will be slightly different. This creates novel music rhythms and sounds

I think that this college course is a really cool idea. The students learn how to use the Iphones capabilities to the maximum. You can now basically have a portable recording studio at your at fingertips. The application is good because it helps with developing music genres such as Drum and Base or underground club music; this is a very good platform in which to share and create new songs.
