New app transcribes your humming into musical score

Every now and then I stumble upon a new mobile app that impresses me. Samsung's Hum On! is one of them. At the SXSW in Austin, the South Korean tech giant unveiled the new app that automatically converts your humming into sheet music.

Simply tap the record button and hum the melody into your phone's mic and the app will write it out in musical notation. You can use your preferred arrangement style (R&B, classical or rock) to adjust the tone and mood of your song. If you're pretty much out of tune don't worry, because the app uses analysis software to compensate for your awful singing voice.

While Hum On! is ideal for musicians, composers, and arrangers, it is also a terrific app for kids, because it intuitively builds music awareness while they think they're just having fun. Unfortunately, the app is still in its beta phase and has yet to launch as a final product.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
