Novah, a 5 piece indie act from Stockholm impresses with the new track ‘Robot‘. Drawing influences from the indie greats such as Coldplay, the band has created a soundtrack of their own. According to the band “Robot was one of those songs that practically wrote itself. All the lyrics and melodies were completed in about an hour and a few days later it was recorded, produced and mixed. Everything was done in a tacky home studio in Berlin.” The video which was shot in Stockholm early in the morning matches the song atmospheric & eerie stillness. The band is currently in the studio recording their first ever EP.

“The finest dozen computer scientists I know are all musicians” – Steve Jobs.

Steve jobs was an enterprenuer & the founder of Apple. But more than anything, he was an artist. And like every artist, he drew much of his inspiration from other artists.

Jobs was a big fan of Bob Dylan and collected live bootlegs as a teenager and had Dylan albums on his iPod.

Jobs named his company Apple after learning The Beatles were signed Apple Records earlier in their career. In fact, when asked to choose between the Beatles and the Stones, Jobs said, “If the vault was on fire and I could grab only one set of master tapes, I would grab the Beatles.”

Bach was also a favorite. He liked the versions of The Goldberg Variations recorded by pianist Glenn Gould in 1955 and 1981. “I used to like the younger, exuberant one. But now I can see where he was coming from.”

Jack Ventimiglia is a 25-year-old songwriter hailing from Minneapolis, MN. His latest single, “Plastic Ocean” has already garnered 15,000 SoundCloud streams. It’s infectious authentic and has a simple memorable melody. Ventimiglia wrote, produced, mixed and engineered the track himself, a telltale sign of a true craftsman.
