In my day job at Moderati I began as a ringtone producer in December 2005. It was an amazing job because it actually made use of the skills I went to college for (I majored in music & minored in electronic music.) However things change and my job morphed into handset multimedia testing, mobile video production, and QA on these new iPhone apps.

We're a small company that used to be bigger. We have tight relationships with record labels and phone carriers. My coworkers and I put many hours of development and testing into the Romplr apps and I hope my iPhone-having readers will check them out.

Wired has great things to say about our remix app as a savior of the music industry (copy and paste this link into your browser): http://icanhaz.com/romplr

Soulja Boy Tell 'em is our first artist romplr. He's twittering about it, promoting it more than we possibly could.

We also have two original Romplrs -- Romplr Lite is free and has one kit on it, and Romplr Dance has 3. If Soulja Boy isn't your cup of tea I strongly recommend checking out Romplr Dance or at the very least Romplr Lite so you get a feel for it.

(Myspace will certainly disable these links to the app store so you need to copy & paste them into your browser.)


SOULJA BOY ($4.99)

DANCE LITE (Free)

DANCE FULL ($2.99)

There are other artists, mostly hip hop, coming out in the next few months, so stay tuned. There are also two Unwoman romplr kits with *completely new songs* that I've made content for that we may or may not release, depending on how successful the romplr in general is.


Let me know what you think if you check it out!

Tell it to Apple and Verizon!  I do want an iPhone now, but still don't want the inferior AT&T network

Word. And I don't know how far we're getting on Romplr for Android, but at some point there'll be an Android Verizon device.... but it'll probably be years from now before that's any good! AT&T sucks. I'm reasonably happy with T-Mobile's network and like my G1 pretty well, but I'll admit the VZW network was the best I ever had.

I hear ya.  I'm hoping that Android will help keep the other Big Boys honest, but at the end of the day, Google is a Big Boy too.  Personally I would feel more comfortable with many smaller providers, but honestly, I'm willing to accept a little corporate dominance if the cost-service ratio is good enough.  So far Comcast and Verizon are meeting that need adequately -- otherwise no way would I do business with them.  AT&T as well (for work), but I don't have to pay for that  ;-)  For AT&T it's more personal; just too hard for me to get over their involvement in Bush's Happy Fun Voyeur Adventure... and therefore difficult for me to give them my own money.

We can hope!

How's the new EP coming along?  It's looking like Music Fan Victory for me this fall :-)  (new SMA, CV, A23, and Xymox)
why not go for 5?

Great!

Well, the full-length album Casualties will be ready as planned next Spring. Don't know whether to do a limited-release single/EP this Fall as well for one of the songs on it (Cruelty or Bruises perhaps), it's a possibility.
