<\/p>\nI’m been down in the trenches over the past week working on the campaign for Sonic Blocks. My friend Scott and his son came up with the idea for a completely modular music “ecosystem” a couple of years ago and it’s finally going to get the exposure that it deserves through Indiegogo in a little over a week (the campaign goes live a week from tomorrow). In addition to working behind the scenes on the audio aspects of the system, it’s been my responsibility to flush out all of the graphics, make the animated GIFs, draft the message, and assemble the product page on the Indiegogo site. You’d think that this could be done in a matter of a couple of days, but you’d be wrong. I’ve spent the better part of the last ten days creating the materials and writing the copy for the page. There’s animations to create, export, and link to as well as static graphics and the central video. And Scott loves it. It’s true that we should have done the work over the past 12 months, but better late than never.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So what does it take to develop an idea and bring it to consumers? In simple terms, it’s takes a lot of time, effort, money, and imagination. And there’s still no guarantee that it’s going to be successful. Sonic Blocks has a very good chance IMHO. It’s a solid product that delivers what it promises. Scott and I will be talking about modularity, system design, and audio personalization on Scott Wilkinson’s The Home Theater Geek<\/strong> show this Thursday afternoon. If you’re interested to hear what the inventor has to say about his unique idea and how I influenced the concept and realization, please stop by on Thursday and check it out. HTG allows real time questions from the audience, so don’t be shy about commenting or asking questions. Here’s the link to the Home Theater Geek site<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sonic Blocks is not an audiophile component or system. It’s not designed to be an ultra fidelity system but it can deliver very good sound quality AND it allows you to expand and modify the individual components without scrapping the whole thing. That’s what makes it different from other wireless speaker systems. Imagine being able to quickly and easily swap one speaker driver for another, better quality speaker. Sonic Blocks allows consumers to replace individual drivers without tools, solder, or technical expertise. It’s all done with magnets.<\/p>\n Crowdsourcing is a disruptive idea. Who would have thought that a small team \u2014 or even an individual \u2014 could conceive an idea, develop that idea into a project, and successfully fund it through the Internet. I proved that it can happen (yes, I know I should have been working on the book over the past week but Scott needed my multimedia expertise) with my book project last fall and again with the Paul Horner CD project. But Sonic Blocks is reaching for a whole lot more in terms of funding.<\/p>\n So tune in on Thursday to the Home Theater Geek and see if you can get behind the idea for Sonic Blocks. See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m been down in the trenches over the past week working on the campaign for Sonic Blocks.
