Nokia N80 As Recording Studio? First Ever Album Made on a Mobile.
After yesterday's news of a ringtone released as a record, today we get news of an album recorded entirely on a cell phone and released on the Internet.
Omri Levy's new EP "about:blank" is the first album to be recorded entirely onto a mobile phone. The album was recorded on a Nokia N80 handset, using an Alon MP3 dictaphone, according to Mobile Crunch.
"The release, “about:blank”, which is available via Omri blog is availble for free under a Creative Commons release."
