Every couple of months, music app developers meet up at the Knitting Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to show off what they’ve made. Evolver.fm is usually there, because reporting on these apps is like shooting fish in that proverbial barrel. It’s almost too easy.
When you’re a Grammy-winning legend firmly ensconced in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, people tend to cut you a break — IE, they might hope and pray that you’ll release new tunes, but most of the time they’re happy to just listen to your records on repeat, remembering the glory days in a fond haze. Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash is certainly not among the aforementioned laurels-resters, however — not only did he recently drop his second solo record, Apocalyptic Love featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, he’s also leapt into the digital age with two iOS apps that enhance both the music-listening and music-making experiences.
