Ocarina (Ge Wang)

Blowin' in the Phone

The blockbuster iPhone app called Ocarina lets you play music by blowing into the phone. Its inventor, Ge Wang, thinks that the more people playing music, the better; but even he is a little nervous about the impact of technology on people's lives. Produced by Angela Frucci.

Very cool mix of art and technology in the app and terrific talent in the performance. Won't replace the original ;-) , but as any interpretation it has it's value and merits. Nice!
