Somehow or other I had never heard about incredibox, an interactive beatbox application that lets you drag-and-drop your own perfectly in tune, quantized grooves.
Initial thoughts of āOh, this seems cuteā quickly gave way to āMan, this is brilliant.ā The animations on the little beatbox dudes, the way their eyes follow your mouse pointer as you drop beats, effects and melodies onto themā¦ and then you click the ā1ā in the corner of the screen and take it to the chorus, only to have your own beat come back to you.
This is something else. A post on the Incredibox Facebook Page says that theyāre working on an iPhone app, and I couldnāt imagine a more fun way to noodle around on the bus. Until then, weāll always have the free web app. Give it a go, and see what you can come up with.
I like to play it sparse with melody and chorus and layer on the effects and bass, but thatās just me.
