On December 25, 2010, The Fall was released over the internet. The Fall is a full length album recorded by the Gorillaz. Why is this album so important? Because it is the first full length album to be recorded and released by a mainstream artist.
The Fall is a fifteen track album that was recorded while the Gorillaz were on tour. Damon Albarn (founder) recorded the album with the use of twenty applications. A number of songs were named after the cities in which they had been recorded in.
The importance of this is that it continue to prove my point. There was a time when touring was part of the year and recording was the rest. Now that has changed. The two can go hand in hand. With the use of the iPad, anyone is able to write music whenever they want.
It had been predicted that more and more known artists will begin to experiment with the iPad and use it as part of their recording process. We will see how this new & fast way of making music will progress over the coming years. The iPad will most likely be the way that we get a lot of things done: not just recording albums.
The iPad is not nearly as developed and evolved as it is meant to be, but it has already begun to change the way we live our lives.
