Aplicativo transcreve o que você canta ou toca em partitura musical

Um time de músicos pesquisadores desenvolveu um aplicativo que capta a música que você está cantando ou tocando ao microfone do celular e a transcreve em partitura musical.

“Achamos que o processo de uma ideia musical à partitura deve ser o mais curto possível.” – ScoreCleaner Notes, no site

Desenvolvido pelo KTH Royal Institute of Technology, na Suécia, ScoreCleaner Notes “escuta” a melodia e então a escreve em partitura, para que o usuário compartilhe em suas redes sociais ou por email, sem nem precisar saber nada sobre teoria musical.

Tudo o que o usuário precisa fazer é abrir o app, clicar no botão “gravar” e começar a cantar. Logo em seguida, o aplicativo irá traduzir os ritmos e melodias em partitura musical. Outra coisa interessante é que você não precisa somente cantar, pois a mesma função também funciona se você tocar algum instrumento.

A tecnologia do ScoreCleaner Notes é baseada em uma pesquisa realizada no KTH, sobre como as pessoas interpretam música.
ScoreCleaner Notes-1

O aplicativo está disponível para iPhone por $0,99.

Como vemos na campanha de divulgação (abaixo) – um usuário que canta no chuveiro no fim é um grande compositor – a ferramenta é coisa séria e pode significar uma revolução, mesmo que lenta e silenciosa, não somente na forma de compor, mas de quem irá compor músicas.

New Bacardi Ad Re-Creates Rum-and-Coke History


Bacardi USA's answer to Captain Morgan is Colonel Roosevelt.

The marketer's flagship rum brand on Monday plans to introduce a TV commercial evoking the history of the "Cuba Libre," better known as the rum and Coke cocktail, which Bacardi says was created in Cuba in 1900 as then-Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders helped fight for the nation's independence from Spain.

Directed by Jake Scott, the spot is the first in a series of ads that will emphasize the historical events that shaped the 151 year-old brand, which has links to the creation of other rum cocktails such as the Daiquiri and Mojito. Global parent Bacardi Limited began looking back last year, with a global campaign celebrating the brand's 150-year anniversary. The new campaign — called "Vivimos! ("We live!") — was created for the U.S., although elements might be expanded globally. It is the first work overseen by boutique agency OW, which Bacardi USA recently brought on board to oversee brand and creative strategy.
