Tritó… digitally yours

Posted by Trito on May 13, 2009  |  No Comments

Since late April, Tritó Edicions‘ catalogue is just a click away. In order to follow the vertiginous speed at which the music business evolves and to offer our users all the options to enjoy our productions, we have accomplished significant partnerships to strenghten our presence in the worldwide web.

Now, it is possible to buy songs and complete albums in mp3 format at the most important online stores, such as Amazon, iTunes, emusic, Lastfm, among others, and to listen to them at the main online radios.

During the month of May, we will increase availability of our productions, so you can access our complete catalogue. Thus, you will be able to count on our music ‘anytime, anywhere’, as the digital era requires.

Spotify, the latest in music on the Internet

Posted by Marcel Soleda on February 24, 2009  |  1 Comment

What is it?

It’s a revolution in music distribution. Spotify is an application for Windows and Mac with a music catalogue that users may search and listen to in streaming audio. The idea is similar to iTunes but downloading is not possible. Instead, users can listen free of charge to any track and without any limitations. The only drawback is the advertising that users hear every certain amount time or number of tracks.

What’s in the catalogue?

For the time being the music published by the four biggest music labels (EMI, Warner Music, Sony BMG y Universal), as well as a large number of small labels from the Long Tail associated with The Orchard and Merlin.

Music Reader, the future of the score

Posted by Marcel Soleda on January 15, 2009  |  No Comments

It’s called Music Reader and it may be the format that definitively pensions off the traditional score and parts in paper. And there’s really no doubt it has many advantages:

The musical notes are visualised on a tablet PC type of screen that can be placed on the music stand while the pages are turned with an accessory pedal. Another advantage that also affects the publishing companies is that it permits the introduction of corrections in real time by the musicians, and also various annotations.

Naturally Music Reader is not the only initiative in this direction. Another device on the market with similar characteristics is MusicPad Pro.

We will have to wait and see what happens but what’s for sure is that the digital revolution is arriving everywhere and classical music is no exception.
