Rana Sobhany DJs on iPads

ONE OF MY LIFERS @1angelLTL SENT ME THIS STORY ON TWITTER,THIS IS VERY INTERESTING,I NEED TO SEE HER DO THIS AND IM GOIN TO SEE WHAT APPS SHES TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW !!!!! Rana Sobhany DJs on iPads BY: INTERVIEW BY STEPHANIE SCHOMERNovember 1, 2010 RANA SOBHANY iPad DJ, Destroy the Silence New York Sobhany, 24, uses a two-iPad DJ setup to explore the next generation of music production. “My biggest curiosity and fascination is with touch-screen computing as it relates to music. I come from a traditional instrument background — I played viola for years — and there’s a strong emotional engagement when you see someone play. When you watch someone DJ on a laptop, you lose that emotion. The iPad creates complete audio and visual engagement with the audience because I’m not just clicking a mouse, I’m actively using these apps and mixing beats. My rig for this DJ experiment — two iPads, a mixer, and eight apps — cost about $1,400. Traditional equipment will cost you $4,000. We’re going to see some mind-blowing developments when people start thinking about the iPad from a creative standpoint. With this platform, anyone can download a $10 app and learn to play the piano.”

BMW says power and torque figures will be in the top range of the large scooter segment.The Concept C, which stands for “Commuter,” uses a number of design features found on other BMW motorcycles. The front uses the “split-face” design found on models such as the S1000RR which also inspired the Concept C’s twin-tipped front spoiler. The bash plates and air intakes were taken from BMW’s GS line.BMW has long been known for “sport bikes. It marketed a cruiser bike for a time to compete against the likes of Harley Davidson, but it left the market when it didn’t catch on. In Europe, it is not uncommon to find business professionals commuting to work in a BMW motorcycle, often outfitted with a plexi-glass surround for rain protection.Urban commuting in Europe and prospering Asian cities is a major focus of automakers as demands for small vehicles and electric vehicles grows with policies meant to reduce carbon emissions and vehicle over-crowding in city centers. Besides Concept C, BMW is also developing a small front-wheel drive city car that is expected to compete against vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz’s smart.
