		<title>Walkie-talkie Theremin: if only it was all this easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got really excited when I read the headline over at Music Radar — after all, creating cool-sounding stuff from cheap, everyday gadgets is great.
However, it doesn&#8217;t sound much more revolutionary than a guitarist standing a bit too close to their amplifier.
Gordon Charlton uses a pair of Binatone Latitude 150 walkie-talkies, of which there&#8217;s really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sponsored Review: Virtual Sheet - Sheet Music Downloads Membership web site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a review of an online sheet music web site which also serves up MIDI and MP3 audio tracks of the available music.
Finding affordable and high-quality transcripts of classical music for a variety of instruments can be difficult, and buying individual pieces can get expensive.

		<title>Jordan Rudess demos Yamaha&#8217;s Tenori-On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a short video of keyboard player Jordan Rudess playing around with Yamaha&#8217;s Tenori-On sound/light synthesiser.
It shows the other side of the Tenori-On (I hadn&#8217;t realised the lights were visible from both sides), and while it means you can&#8217;t see exactly what controls Jordan is using, it&#8217;s still an interesting demo.

		<description><![CDATA[The iPhone is one very cool phone, and thanks to the recent addition of third-party applications, there&#8217;s some pretty nifty software coming out for it.
I must admit, though, that I&#8217;d not considered the iPhone being used for any serious synth work / music creation. Yes, there are applications that let you play a virtual keyboard [...]]]></description>
