We are going to be at Transmediale in Berlin next Thursday as part of a panel discussion about music apps. We hope to discuss the unprecidented range of artistic and economic possibilities that the format of reactive music affords.

In short presentations, current music gadgets and music applications for mobile electronic devices developed by artists and designers will be introduced. Afterwards, the editor of De-Bug magazine, Thaddeus Hermann, and the participants will discuss the artistic and economic potential of these new formats and applications. Are they used as an independent artistic medium, or are they merely expansions and accessories of known formats? Do they open up new artistic perspectives and new earning opportunities? How does the collaboration between artists and technology developers work? What has been the experience so far, and how do the panelists foresee the near future of this field?

We will be at the forthcoming Music 4.5 event in London on the 4th of March 2010. Robert Thomas will be doing a short talk about the vast potential for change that music becoming software enables and our vision at RjDj about reactive music for the 21st century.

Early bird tickets are available now.

More than a week after the earth convulsed in Haiti, it’s survivors are still waiting for relief. Artists and musicians around the world are moved by the suffering and try to support the Haitians. The Kids on DSP and pharmacopia are donating the revenue of their sales in the month february to the Red Cross. Drop us a line if you too want to donate the revenue of your scenes or submit a scene for that purpose.

Music Hack Day is a weekend of hacking on music related api’s and services, and RjDj will be there with two releases: The first look at our API for RjDj recordings, and our new reactive music composer software RJC1000 that makes it a lot easier to create scenes for RjDj.

We’re really looking forward to meeting the other companies and hackers, and seeing all the great projects that come out of these hack days. Previous hack days in London and Berlin have been really amazing. If you’re in Stockholm on Jan 30-31 and would like to meet up, drop us an email!

2009 was a good year for RjDj, and a better one for our users! With your help we also broke the mark of 30.000 recordings made with RjDj apps.

So we decided to release our first RjDj compilation with the best recordings made in 2009:
