Atlantic Participates in Adobe’s Flash 10.1 Mobile Launch

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Today Atlantic launched our first round of mobile websites in conjunction with our partners at Adobe. We launched 8 artist’s sites targeting Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1, with iPhone and iPod Touch coming later this month. This is a launch we were very proud to be a part of, and a project will be iterating on in weeks to come.

I’ll be posting more infomation on our new sites in the next few weeks, everything from getting started in mobile web development to Flash 10.1 specific issues.

Special thanks to Mike Mignano and Rob Beatty on my team at Atlantic Records for their continued help on this project.

Check out my quote below:

“Flash gives us another great avenue to deliver music and videos to our fans on mobile devices, and beyond. Scale is key for us and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 allows us to create a great mobile experience, using content we already have, and familiar tools. We have already optimized some of our most popular artists’ websites for Flash 10.1 and are working to deliver new ones each week.”
– Eric Snowden, senior director, Creative and Technology, Atlantic Records

Designing iPhone apps using Adobe Flash CS5 and AIR

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Arguably the biggest announcement from Adobe’s MAX conference last week was the (future) ability to create iPhone applications using Flash CS5. There were several sessions that materialized shortly after the announcement, but this session by Arno Gourdol was by far the most useful and practical. Check out the video below.

The CD case as musical instrument

Friday, August 21st, 2009

A pretty interesting marketing idea from musician Moldover, a San Francisco based artist who has made his CD case just as desirable as the music itself. Using knowledge of custom circuits, he made the case for his CD into a crude theremin. Check out the YouTube video below.
