Guitar Effects
Technology means anyone can be a rockstar
It’s not just guitar hero that’s getting regular non-musical people back into the world of writing and recording their own songs. The hugely successful game may have inspired countless wannabe rockstars to pick up a guitar and start rocking out but with so much new technology available to budding musicians, it seems the cutting edge of new music is becoming less Gibson and more… Gameboy?? No, you didn’t read that wrong. As musicians are constantly trying to come up with more and more ways to keep their sound fresh and new people are discovering musical gold in all kinds of unexpected places, from state of the art phones to old toys and retro games consoles. vHere are a few of the innovative and unusual uses we've found for modern technology in music:
Old Nintendo Gameboys – perhaps one of the strangest musical creations around, DJ Scotch Egg doesn’t actually use any normal DJ equipment but produces his tracks entirely using sound effects and software from gameboys. But they’re not fancy new consoles we’re used to nowadays – he only uses the old chunky grey ones we all remember playing in the early 90s. Not only does this work surprisingly well (he even manages to pull it off live and gives a very energetic performance) but it’s also a real blast from the past as you pick out the sounds and snatches of tunes you recognise from the games of your childhood!
iPhones – Due to play a series of gigs at Wembley Stadium in the summer supporting Take That, Gary Go’s set is something a bit different to what you’d usually expect from a pop concert. He doesn’t play any actual musical instruments live, and he doesn’t have a backing band – he just does it all on his trusty iPhone. In fact, he wrote, played and recorded his album using only software he had downloaded especially to his phone. It should be an interesting show to watch, as long as as long as his mum doesn’t decide to call him half way through!
Laptops – OK so maybe this one’s not quite so weird and wonderful, it’s not exactly unusual to see a laptop onstage during a show. But what makes the laptop such an important aspect of making your own music is that you literally don’t need anything else to write, play and record tracks. With so many different programs for musicians out there, able to recreate the sound of any instrument almost perfectly, and then record and mix your tracks, it’s just a case of picking the right DJ software and going for it. Gone are the days when you could use excuses like ‘but I don’t know how to play the guitar’ and ‘I don’t know the first thing about recording music’, these days it seems anyone can make it as a rockstar.
