Don’t worry, we’re still here!

I know, it’s been a while sine anyone updated this blog.But we are still here. Unfortunately for us (and, sometimes, for the world in general), life gets in the way of the pursuit of truly noble goals. I’ve got a couple things to post about.

First off is this movie, titled “Sound Reflection,” by a good friend of the [hm] founder, Eno Freedman-Brodmann. It’s a documentary about how music is one of the last ways to connect to people in this new world of high-speed information and instant gratification- exactly what [hm] is all about. Click the screenshot to view the movie on YouTube.

Second is something a bit more outlandish. I’ve got myself an iPod Touch, and I’ve been in love with it since I got it. One of the greatest applications out there for the iPod and iPhone is called Bloom (iTunes link).

This little app is truly a musical wonder: tap anywhere on the screen and it plays a note! The note will fade away and recur in a set pattern. And, depending on how high or low on the screen you tap, the note will change pitch! It’s really a little beauty, and its music is a pleasure to listen to and create.It’s only $3.99 for all you iPhone/iPod owners out there, and it’s really worth it for alternative music scene fans (much like us).

As for music drops, don’t worry, they’re stewing! Please keep sending in your own drop reports and mixes, and we’ll keep posting them here!
