Who says that the iPad is about consuming content rather than creating it? Don’t tell that to The iPad Orchestra, a group of four musicians who got together to make beautiful music together using only their iPads.
Cult of Mac is reporting on the musical stylings of The iPad Orchestra, a group of four musicians who got together this year with an eye toward advancing digital mobile music. For their first performance -- documented via the embedded YouTube video below -- they used a new iPad $5.99 app called Seline HD by Amidio Inc.
Since the quartet all play the same device with different instruments on each iPad, they appear in black T-shirts with the name of the instrument they’re performing -- clarinet, cello, flute and violin. The HD video is nicely shot and edited from a live performance on August 20, 2010.
So what did the quartet choose for their debut number? Ilya Plauvonov’s “Sweet Dreams,” which is certainly a beautiful composition, but as Cult of Mac notes, maybe a little too “soothing” for early in the day.
You can keep up to date with The iPad Orchestra’s performances on their website, which is still in development. Meanwhile, on with the show!
