New Music Genre???
There may perhaps be a new genre of music, RjDj. Wait… what? What is RjDj? RjDj is an application for iPhone and iPod Touch that utilizes the sounds that surround you and your movement as well. The devices have a built-in mic and a sensor. The app transforms the surrounding sounds into music though various “scenes” (songs).
RjDj is essentially a “reactive” music genre. It enables listeners to hear sounds which are produced by their digital devices in real time. Reactive music composers utilize sensory input, which makes the environment of the listener the music itself. Compositions are called “scenes” which provides a much different musical structure than traditional music compositions and regularly do not define a clear beginning or end. This helps create an active listener involvement.
Users of RjDj summarize their experiences with this new type of music as addictive and also compare the listening experience to the effects achieved from drugs. RjDj can be considered a digital drug which causes mind twisting hearing sensations which affect the listeners sensory perception.

OMG, that’s amazing.
“In the future drugs will become more like computers and computers will become more like drugs.”
Altering your perception of reality. This opens a whole new door for music and our relationship to it. The music now follows you instead of you following the music.
I might have to get an iphone just for this.
this is a very cool app, I mean a nice idea for the phone users, specially because it works on real time with the environment of the users.
great guys
