    iPhone Ocarina: MGMT - Kids

    In my senior spring of high school, four friends and I convinced our school to let us hike the Appalachian Trail for three months as class credit.  During that trip, we met another hiker who wore a small flute-like instrument called an ocarina as a necklace.  I liked the idea of a small, portable instrument that you always have with you.  Today I found the modern day equivalent - a $0.99 Ocarina iPhone app.  To play the instrument, you blow into your phone’s microphone and press four keys on the screen, which you can adjust by octave.  The developer’s website includes tons of sheet music and tutorials to get you started.  This is a video of me trying to learn MGMT’s Kids after just a few minutes using the app.  The iPhone Ocarina officially replaces the recorder as the nerdiest instrument I can play.
