LuckyFrame is up to some very fun things these days. In a nutshell:
- We are very excited to be involved in the Love Music Festival, a brand new program of live music for children that will happen all around Scotland this fall. Yann is in charge of the interactive multimedia side of the festival, which will mean running tons of workshops from Ayrshire to Shetland, and building lots of very fun interactive musical installations in the various venues. It is all very much in the planning stages at the moment, but more information should be coming out about it over the summer.
- We have several more iPhone apps in the works. Here’s a teaser image of one of them…introducing: KLANGKRAFTER!
Hooray! Mujik Classik, the free version of our critically acclaimed (and very popular in Germany) musical iPhone app Mujik, is now available on the iTunes Store!
Mujik Classik is a free introduction into the wonderful world of Mujik, where fireflies inhabit a musical library full of books and balloons…a curious world which you can explore to make your own music in a fun and lovely way!
The release of Mujik 1.1 was very exciting all around, and we’ve gotten tons of really positive feedback! We also, unfortunately, heard from some users who were experiencing crashes.
Not to worry, JonBro was on the case, and he managed to track down the bugs that were causing the crashes. Three cheers for Jon!
So I’ve just submitted the updated, “Now Crash-Free!” version of Mujik to the app store, and if all goes well it will be approved and released in the next couple of weeks. Many apologies to anyone who was affected by the crashing!
Hooray! After weeks of waiting, I’m happy to announce the release of Mujik 1.1. This update has all sorts of awesome new things, such as three brand new loop packs by the wonderful Nick Janaway, Surachai, and Dave Meckin (aka Dave the Machine). Other new features include the ability to save your creations, and the appropriately named AutoMujik function!
We here at Lucky Frame were very pleased to see Mujik on the official Gizmodo list of Essential iPhone Apps. How exciting! We are in very good company, alongside such app store luminaries as Skype, RjDj, Bloom, and, um, Run Pee.
In other news, we are busy busy busy. The version 1.1 update is coming along nicely, I’ll post some teasers here next week.
We here at Lucky Frame got a great email from Mack Si, a Czech producer, musician, and sound guru based in Prague. His band “Je Chante” used Mujik as the basis for their latest track, entitled Hvězdička. It’s absolutely epic and awesome, have a listen!

We here at Lucky Frame are extremely proud to say that our latest project – Mujik for iPhone – is now available for download on the iTunes store!
So far the feedback has been overwhelmingly amazing. I’d like to thank all the well wishers and Twitterers and bloggers. One particularly lovely review came from Create Digital Music:
Musical technology is often designed to be “hard” in character. Interfaces are cold and technological-looking, futuristic like spaceships, or made to replicate antique gear to make guitarists feel nostalgic. Musical interfaces consciously avoid anything “childish” – calling something a “toy” being the worst possible insult – and they’re certainly never whimsical.
That’s why the real news about Mujik isn’t that it’s a new iPhone app, or that, after a few weeks of teasers, you can download it today on the iTunes store. (The app is free for a limited time.) The news is that it’s a musical interface with lightning bugs. Interactive Musical Whimsy, with Lightning Bugs: Mujik Free on iPhone
Hello and welcome to the brand new Lucky Frame website!
We’ve made this website to help support our latest creation – Mujik. Mujik is a very charming and fun music remixing application for the iPhone. You can watch a sneak peek video of it right here, right now:
We submitted the final build of version 1.0 to Apple for approval, so fingers crossed it should be available in the iTunes store in the next few weeks!
