Performer Rocks the House from Windows Powered Smartphone

On Sunday night at the annual Ars Electronica Festival, the Banks of the River Danube in Danaupark, Linz, Austria played host to what is believed to be the world's first live concert featuring music and sounds generated entirely on-the-fly from a mobile phone application.

Using SSEYO Koan generative music software running on the intent Sound System from theTao Group, curator and performer Tim Didymus played music for his 250,000-watt electronic ambience set from his Microsoft Windows Mobile-based i-Mate Smartphone, using the integrated intent Sound System.

Tao said its intent Sound System (iSS) for mobile devices includes comprehensive audio and MIDI frameworks for audio effects plugins, visualisers, synthesizers, music engines and codecs, as well as playing high quality polyphonic MIDI or audio ringtones in a wide range of popular formats.

According to Tao, iSS allows application developers to use advanced interactive audio and MIDI techniques in games, visualisers or equally in music tools and players. In providing an extendable framework, it also creates possibilities for developers of plugin audio engines, synthesizers and effects, in turn developing new opportunities for musicians, creative and content developers.
