Gary Go Makes Cool Tunes on His iPhone, Videos on His Mac
Brit pop man-of-the moment Gary Go calls his iPhone the “fifth member of his band” and was the first musician to rock out on the device in front of 70,000 fans.
Go was on our radar last spring, when it was announced that he’d be using his iPhone to accompany his opening act, along with a four member human band, for boy band veterans Take That at London’s Wembley Stadium.
More on facing fans armed with an iPhone and the video after the jump.
How’d the iPhone concert go?
Swell, Gary, tells CNN. His biggest fear was that he might get a call during the set. – thankfully he remembered to lock in airplane mode before hitting the stage.
His apps of choice are Cordica and Beatmaker, but if you’re expecting to hear some obvious synth pop, you won’t be going Gary’s way.
Go’s debut self-titled album hits US airwaves this week, sweeping, catchy ballads like “Wonderful” have already earwormed their way into car commercials in Europe. Though many musicians are using the iPhone to make music, Go is doing a lot to make it mainstream.
But Gary takes geek music one step further with this video for “Circles,” which he claims to be the first ever shot on 21 borrowed MacBooks and Photobooth.
What next? A video shot on an iPod nano, maybe…
