As we finish off our second week post-launch, we’ve been looking at our charts and it has revealed our most downloaded song thus far: “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams. In a way, this seems very appropriate as it expresses all of our feelings at the moment.

If you (those who have downloaded the app) were to look into our eyes, you would see what you mean to us. Search your heart, search your soul and when you find iSheetMusic there you will not need to search anymore.

In celebration of the space shuttle’s final mission, Michael Stipe from R.E.M. sent a personal message from Earth to the crew this morning. In the recording, you can hear Stipe singing the chorus to the band’s hit “Man on the Moon” a capella, followed by a personal message thanking them and NASA for all their hard work.

Stephen Malinowski is a music animator. It’s okay if you don’t know what that is because most people don’t. Malinowski invented what he calls the “Music Animation Machine” started in 1974 when he imagined the notes of his sheet music actually moving across the page like dancers. After decades of work, he created the bar-graph scroll and later a computer program to show people the movement of the music.
