I have found myself more and more interested in using twitter and social media to help with branding and marketing online. The idea of social media as an actual “social” arena seems bizarre to me, but to use as a tool for finding good information as well as disseminating it to the masses makes me excited.

So I found this really neat homebrew app the other day for my Nintendo DS. You can click on the title of this entry to see the creator’s page to learn more about it if you want. In a nutshell though, its a music sequencer that is powered or run by overlaying music triggers on cells setup by Conway’s Game of Life. So the creator is calling it a Cellular Automation music sequencer. Yeah, yikes. So that is basically just a long way to say that its a neat little app that you can make some snazzy glitch style loops and mess around with the audio samples, speed, distortion, etc. Pretty powerful little program and a ton of fun. I’ve made several cool loops, but I can’t think of a good way to upload them to share. For now, though, check out the vid the creator has made to show it off.
