Currently
As the inventors of pixound, Hologramophone is proud to be a partner in a joint venture called Pixound Technology Partners with Frankfurt Balkind, a major multimedia production and design firm. We hope that through this partnership we will be able to bring the excitement of pixound into the homes of the world. Today, we are also involved with large-scale media events including the I-Magic Festival and GIG96 as well as various interactive game and web-site productions. We have been working with various artists to stretch the bounderies of current multi-musical thinking. Hologramophone is pleased to sponsor Dwight Loop's earwaves radio network on our site. This is the ultimate source for cutting edge music and information. Also sponsored is First Avenue, the acclaimed electro-acoustic trio which includes our own Bill Kannar (he's quite his own, actually), a pioneer of musical software.
The Purpose
Rather than exploit the computer's power to record and score music, as so many have done, we set out to find the new paradigms that will help define what music is and how it's created in the 21st century and beyond. This philosophy has allowed us to pursue ideas that don't have immediate payoffs but have far-reaching, long-term effects. The type of thinking which has been applied to our music software is now being applied to a broad range of disciplines from fine art to gaming and interactive fiction. We hope to promote new ideas which enrich the human experience, utilize the natural harmonies within our world and facilitate education.
