MUSINAUT INTRODUCES NEW INTERACTIVE



New Technology Enhances Digital Music Experience for Listeners;

Heightens Marketability of Music for Artists

 

London, September 8, 2008 – Musinaut, a Paris-based company, today unveiled MXP4, a revolutionary new digital audio format that transforms an artist’s recorded music into an interactive, multi-sensory experience that can be creatively varied and individually adapted for greater personal listener enjoyment.

 

Musinaut’s MXP4 technology enables amateur and professional musicians and record labels to provide listeners with more enriching and engaging content – that includes an original song along with multiple versions of the composition, graphics and text/communications (lyrics, insights into the artist or why they created the song and its versions, or even upcoming tour dates and new album release dates), in a single download.

 

 

The MXP4 (Multiplied Experience Platform in 4D) product suite is currently made up of two components: the MXP4Creator, which is available for artists and musicians, and the MXP4Player, which is designed for use by listeners.

 

The MXP4Creator (ERP £279) allows musicians to explore infinite and unconventional ways to arrange and present compositions in diverse styles. Each MXP4 file contains the original song and any number of musical variations, or “skins,” created by the artist. For example, an artist can add acoustic, dub and acappella flavours of their latest single.

 

With the MXP4Player, playback can occur automatically or interactively. Music fans can personalise their listening experience by configuring music selections to fit their own mood, or they can select “auto mode” to let the technology choose for them. When the various skins of a track are dynamically remixed, the listener experiences an element of surprise akin to a live performance.

 

 

Music fans can listen to MXP4 files using the free-to-download MXP4Player available at www.mxp4.com.

  

Over the past few months a number of bands, producers and DJs across the United States and Europe have been beta testing the editing tool, MXP4Creator, and many are already embracing it. For example, electro-pop artist songwriter Margaux has completed her forthcoming ‘Spookydubois at Corfe Castle’ album, using MXP4 technology:

 

“MXP4 technology is such a powerful format and a breath of fresh air for the digital music industry,” Margaux said. It’s given me the freedom to go beyond musical boundaries and opens up an endless amount of new possibilities. As an artist, songwriting was becoming formulaic and boring, but by using MXP4 technology I can now be surprised by my own music.

 

“My forthcoming album is a ‘musical movie’ as MXP4 technology enabled me to tell a story,” Margaux added. “I could change the atmosphere and style of a song and also add text and photos. The fact that fans can participate in how they listen to the album is also very exciting for me. I can’t imagine making music any other way now.”

s a very broad term that refers to all digital information that is used in items related to computer usage such as digital audio recorders, digital cameras and any other computing item. This word is extensively used in the world of electronics and computing where it means the conversion of normal data to the binary numerical version of 0 (pulse is low or absent) and 1 (pulse is high or present). These information carrying signals include electronic signals and are used in the fields of digital photography like in digital cameras and digital audio in digital recorders, digital CD players and CD’s.

Digital noise is also a very important part of this conversion, which can interrupt the transmission of these signals. This noise can arise due to several reasons: a wireless transmission of data as in a radio transmission where the digital noise leads to a faulty transmission of data. There can also be interference from wireless sources like televisions and mobile phones in a transmission, which can corrupt the signals. Background noise from the environment can also be a major cause of faulty transmission of digital data.

The faulty transmission can be quite particular in case of transmission of electric pulses through wires, which can be changed due to the capacitance of the wire and its resistance. Although slight alterations in the digital signals are not considerable because they can be neglected once the data is received. But in any analog system, variations can be quite bothersome and all care must be taken to avoid any distortions when transferring data via an analog system.

A digital system makes use of separate values to depict information for processing, input, storage and transmission. On the contrary, a recurring system of values is used by an analog or a non-digital system for the depiction of information. The information that is depicted in a digital system can be both continuous as in images or sounds or any other measurements that are taken up in continuous mechanisms or discrete like in numbers, icons and letters. Alphanumeric characters that are used for encoding digital information are not recurring and as a result conversion of information to digital data is pretty simple. There are also lesser chances of data loss unlike cases of analog to digital change. Instead of the complex techniques, if simpler techniques like encoding and polling are used in an analog-to-digital conversion.

A symbol input device that is used for conversion of an analog data to digital data includes a large number of switches that are put at frequent intervals to check if any one of them is pressed in a single polling interval. Data will be corrupted if two switches or a single switch gets pressed. This kind of checking or polling can be accomplished by an expert processor present in the symbol input device to avoid any hassling of the CPU. When a different symbol gets entered in the system, the device sends an automatic alert to the CPU to receive and decode it.

Man is a social being, as we all know. He cannot live without communicating with his fellow beings and hence, new and better ways of communication are invented with each passing day. Home phones were invented to enable you to keep in touch with the world even when you are stationed within the confines of your home. The reason why it is still such a popular option is that it is easy-to-use and comparatively cheaper than the mobiles.

Available in UK under various plans and schemes, home phones are still the choice of millions. One such plan is the free line rental, under which you pay a lump sum amount initially at the time of the installation and for the subsequent months you will be charged only for your usage. Home phone operators know all the tricks of the trade to lure customers and hence offer various free gifts along with the confection.

Home phones no longer come in their same old boring avatars. From Cheek and portable to handy handsets, they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Like the mobile phone industry that has witnessed a boom recently, the home phones too have been revolutionized big time. They are no longer the simplified devices that they used to be. New added features and enhanced technology have found their way to the home phones as well.

Home phones are easily available on the internet. They can be at your doorstep by a few clicks on the mouse. Comparison sites on the other hand make you compare various manufacturers and models and enable you to go in for the best one.
