I'll start off this blog with a different kind of Digital Transformation. In my spare time, I play guitar, dobro and harmonica in a duo called The Distillaires. We mostly cover songs from the 1920s to the 1950s, from all kinds of backgrounds - blues, jazz, country, standards, folk - and give them a unified feel (hence the name - we distil and transform our influences). Many of these songs originated as scratchy 78s. The miracle of modern technology enabled us to record these using some very affordable equipment:

MacBook Pro
Focusrite Scarlet 18i8 Firewire Audio
Logic X
+ some decent microphones

We haven't even made a CD. It's gone straight to Soundcloud. It's here:
