A Musical Experience - Location Based Album App

Written by Kate Myers | May 27, 2011 08:29 PM
It seems these days people aren’t phased by much. Music in the “Cloud." Over it. Using your phone as a credit card? Old news. But today I came across this innovative idea featured on Mashable - it’s an iPhone app that doubles as an album. But, instead of just streaming the tunes, the app syncs with GPS to change the music you hear based on your location around the Mall in Washington, D.C. The DC based band, Bluebrain, composed music to coincide with different parts of the Mall (like the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial). No matter what path you take, the music moves and transitions with your location. Talk about giving users a complete musical experience! Check it out and tell us cool ways you distribute your tunes in the comments:
