musiconmac.com Launched; Daily Site for Mac Musicians
From Peter Kirn:
June 23rd, 2003- After covering music and audio on the PowerPage for a couple of years with a tremendous response, I decided the content deserved its own daily site -- here's the result!
musiconmac.com, a new website for Mac musicians, has been officially launched this week with daily news, product reviews, features, artist and developer interviews, tips, and tutorials.
The site will focus on artists using the Mac as a creative tool for musicians, to compliment other resources on the web with exclusive content.
Editor-in-Chief Peter Kirn is a New York-based composer and music technology educator/consultant. The site will be community-based with a full discussion board, reader submission of story ideas, and events calendars, publishing daily.
