The Swiss electronic duo Yello decided to create an app instead of an album, in which any music track created is unique, but at the same time – sounds exactly like a band track.
Says Fingarilla app creator Anton Schneider:
“Yello have released an album that you can re-do the whole fuckin’ thing, and you can still hear Yello. I think musicians of the future won’t be releasing albums, they’ll be releasing the instruments they made the record on. That way you don’t have to worry about repeating the Skrillex sound – you download an album app that has a machine that generates the typical Skrillex sounds and you use it to bang somewhere in the track.”
A few weeks after Yellofier, the Ninja Tune label got a similar app – Jamm lets you make remixes of tracks by label musicians (Bonobo, for example) using samples collections and dozens of shuriken effects.
