A music creation app developed with Kevin Godley of 10CC and Godley and Creme, will be launched at the Music Show in Dublin next month.
WholeWorldBand, an interactive tool for iPhone 4/4s and iPad2 created by Kevin Godley and development veteran Andy Wood (Hypergallery, Cubic Motion) lets you create music with other musicians and music fans around the world in both sound and video. It will be showcased at this year’s Music Show which takes place in RDS, Dublin from 25th-26th February.
Kevin Godley and Andy Wood will demonstrate the new music-sharing, revenue-generating app for the first time at the show and it will then be available to download from the iTunes store from March 2012.
A number of major artists including The Edge, Ronnie Wood, Gavin Friday, Gemma Hayes, Cathy Davey, Mik Pyro (Republic of Loose) and Liam Ó Maonlaí (Hot House Flowers) are currently creating performances for WholeWorldBand and will be uploading new or collaborating on existing tracks in the near future.
Musicians and music fans from all over the world will be able to contribute and combine a selection of video performances, including their own, from the WholeWorldBand library to create their own favourite band line-up. And they will also have the opportunity to earn money from their performance.
Kevin Godley said “WholeWorldBand is a revolutionary new online music tool that provides a new platform for distribution while offering the opportunity of new revenue streams for up and coming and established musicians and bands and, in fact, anyone.”
The app allows you to originate a track or add yourself to performances by well-known artists and bands by playing along with them, or substituting yourself for any member of a band. WholeWorldBand lets musicians record and film while playing or singing along to any track on the menu using the microphone and cameras on their iPhone or iPad then upload a unique mix of yourself plus other users to Facebook and YouTube etc.
In WholeWorldBand, musicians can upload their own original tracks and earn money when other users download and share them. The more performances that are downloaded, the more musicians can earn.
"It's fantastic that The Music Show is the first place that people will get to see this great project in action," said Niall Stokes editor at Music Show organiser, Hot Press. "Kevin Godley is a real visionary – exactly the kind of ambitious genius to carry off something special like the WholeWorldBand idea. And he has found the perfect partner for his grand scheme in Andy Wood, who founded Hypergallery, a portal where you can buy all the great cover artwork. Between them, they have created an app that has amazing long term potential. People will see just how much at The Music Show. It is a really exciting development that we're proud to be part of."
