Part of the reason things have been a bit quiet here at The Musically Inclined lately is because for the past three and a half months, I've been working on a giant feature piece.
It's a beast weighing in at roughly 4,300 words, and I'm pretty proud of it.
In short, it all started when my editor asked if I could do something with "the cloud and music production." It ended with me finding a Paris-based company called Ohm Force that makes a digital audio workstation called Ohm Studio, which functions like Google Docs. Multiple users can edit the same project at the same time. They're sharp guys and I hope more people tune into what exactly they've accomplished.
Beyond telling their story, I also got to talk to a lot of folks in the industry who have opinions on what it could mean to be able to collaborate without being in the same room, and with an immediacy and intimacy not found in merely swapping tracks via Dropbox or YouSendIt.
This article even took me to Boston, where I met up with the Ohm Force guys at the Advanced Audio and Application Exchange, a first-year conference focused on future tech in music.
The week that followed was a blur. I wrote a lot (read: A LOT) and tried to keep my head in Boston.
Anyway, I promise it's an easy read. I had an immensely good time reporting and writing this, and I hope you check it out.
After all, every time you read a long form, a writer gets his/her wings.
READ ME!
