Oh goodness, look at the press coverage!

Good Night, States’ iPhone/iPod touch story was picked up by Engadget.com, rumored to be one of the top English language blogs in the world. People who have never heard of Good Night, States are now calling us “famous”, while the app’s developers refer to us in the iTunes store as “world renowned musicians Good Night, States.” Other folks on Twitter are just calling us “insane geeks”, which is fine too.

In light of all the comments generated on the Engadget post, we want to encourage all you regular folk out there to watch the videos, read Steve’s latest blog post, and download the app. We created this play-along opportunity for you; yes, even you who have never touched a real synthesizer in your life. Noise.io provides an easy, fun way for people to participate with us - you don’t have to be a tech guru or even a musician to add to the performance at our next show, so don’t be shy. We’ll have our set list posted on The Box, where the input for your device attaches, at the front of the stage. Check it out in advance so you know exactly when your favorite play-along song is coming. Team up with a friend, because two people can play at once!

If an Apple app isn’t your style, wander over to the merch table to check out our new t-shirt design. Good Night, States will give a FREE t-shirt, autographed by world renowned us, to the person identifying the inspiration for the design, hand drawn by artist Nicolena Loshonkol. Hint: it fits our tech geek “scheme” to a tee. Email contest@goodnightstates.com with your guess!

Wow!

We’re very excited, humbled, and honored to have our iPhone/iPod Touch experiment featured on engadget.com and synthtopia.com!

Steve has weighed in on some of the feedback that the engadget/synthtopia coverage has garnered.

At the next Good Night, States show (and beyond), you (the show attendee) will have the opportunity to participate in the performance!

Steve has programmed a bank of sounds for the Noise.io iPhone/iPod Touch synth app. This bank of sounds, combined with the audio interface that will be at the front of the stage, will allow you to play along with the band.

Steve has posted instructional videos and written out instructions for how to use the app at the shows. You can view/download the instructions here. You can view the instructional videos here, here, and here.
