I discovered Sound Cloud this week through Edward Burns’ song contest for his new movie Newlyweds.
Sound Cloud makes it super easy to share music. 1 click. Very cool.
Click HERE to hear Satisfied Life, the song I entered in the contest. Enjoy!

The Crankamacallit ipad app is nearly complete!
Here are a few words from Polymash about our project The Crankamacallit, an interactive children’s storybook for the picture book crowd. The Crankamacallit will be out this spring, I hope you enjoy these preliminary sketches.
PS The pictures don’t begin to show the interactivity of the app—or its SURPRISES!
We are working on an illustrated, animated and interactive children’s book by singer, songwriter and author Mimi Cross. The project is called “The Crankamacallit” and will go live in Q2 of 2011. It utilizes cutting edge 3D illustration techniques, and we are creating a hand crafted quality look and feel inspired by the winning and record sales generating iPad app called “The Pedlar Lady”.
Even though we are under construction with this, I’m posting a few 3D illustrations.
Here is a scene being created in 3D, and then rendered, illustrated and animated for the app. With processes like these, we are really trying to push the limits of the Adobe Digital Magazine Publishing suite, our core our app publishing platform. It was really intended for interactive magazines, but we are extending its functionality by incorporating innovative design techniques including video, 3D animation, HTML5 and Javascript.
