KALYDO ANNOUNCES TWO WINNERS!

Eindhoven – Sep 22, 2009 - Over the past weeks, almost 200 compositions were uploaded by Tribe of Noise members participating in Kalydo's Music in Game Competition 2009. We are thrilled to announce not one but TWO winners:

1. 'In Game' Music: Forest scene by VinceTheWebb! Vince, congratulations!
   The jury believes this is a “very original approach on how to create game music: Forest Scene matches the style and setting of Konstrukt Invasion best and the different styles of music are smoothly merged together, led by a futuristic, suitable dose of rhythm.”

2. Menu Music: Main Theme from NightShader. Well done, Pascal!
   “A very epic track which one can't listen to without being affected by its imposing gleam” are the praising words of the jury.

The jury was very impressed by the musical quality and creativity in the compositions and would like to congratulate the next three runners up:

• Kalydo Classical, RubXProject: “The main theme is very catchy and gamey, would be ideal for a real time strategy game.”

• Kaleidascope, TrennaJean: “A very nicely tensioned sound scape. Inventive rhythm section, deep instrumentals.”

• Kalydo –Vincula, Kampmaniak: “Could very well be a track for the closing credits. Modest drama, covered by 'computer-ish' layers of percussion and sounds.”
  

Early next week, Konstrukt Invasion WITH the music of VinceTheWebb and NightShader will be available to many gamers around the world! Check Kalydo's website

Virtual DJs play your music on TV

Amsterdam, September 19, 2009

Last week iTunes announced the comeback of the LP in digital format. Old songs get their second life in video games like Guitar Hero. And mobile apps like TheGigMap give you instant access to live gigs around the corner. Innovation in music is all around us; via digital and multimedia channels they tap into new markets.

One of the latest music initiatives is the ‘Twinners Music on TV' pilot.

Music on TV? Isn't MTV claiming this space since the early eighties? You are absolutely right. However, the Twinners initiative is a new interactive TV format powered by SBS, the second largest broadcaster in Europe.

Instead of a remote control your cell phone interacts with a virtual you (so called avatar) on TV. During the live TV shows you can chat, dance, visit cool places and listen to indie music played by virtual DJs.

The music played on TV is created by a worldwide group of independent musicians from the online music community Tribe of Noise. For them it is an additional opportunity to generate exposure: Two hundred million people are watching SBS worldwide. Although the TV pilot just started in Denmark on Channel 4 and 5 this week, more countries are expected to be added in the near future reaching a crowd of millions of people. An audience only signed artists like Madonna and U2 used to reach.

“Together with our Tribe members and business partners we focus on generating exposure and developing new revenue models for musicians“, says Hessel van Oorschot, co-founder of Tribe of Noise. “This pilot is a great opportunity for them and leading media enterprises to develop a future business model we all believe in.”

“According to music industry gurus the golden decades of the traditional music industry are over. So let's focus on the opportunities ahead of us and empower independent musicians with all the innovative tools they need. Virtual DJs playing their music on TV is one of them.”
