The popular British singer Sting announced that cease to produce music albums in the traditional sense because of the meaninglessness of effort in the era of mobile of applications.
The musician, recently to celebrate its 60th anniversary, said:
"People stop buying CDs. No one will sell their produce, so I'm looking for new ways to bring music to the audience, and at the moment the application [for the operating system iOS, which operate on the basis of smartphones iPhone, iPad tablet and players iPod touch] look most promising. Applications - a new model. "
This week, Sting came out the first such application for iPad " Sting 25 ", which comes with a traditional box-Seth with the same title.
The application includes, in addition to recorded music, a collection of archival photos, lyrics, interviews and live performances. By their very nature, the application can be updated, so this is not something static and unchanging, in contrast to the album in a tangible medium.
Sting is not the first musician who tries to "change format" and release music as applications for mobile devices Apple. In late 2010, a virtual music project Gorillaz, based leader of the popular music group Blur Damon Albarn, released his first album , recorded with a pen tablet iPad.
