Event : Band Bravery in Battle pays Tribute to Steve Jobs - macmusicWhen they heard of Steve Jobs's death, on October the 5th, the french rock band Bravery in Battle decided at once to write some music to pay him homage. 
They have been using the Mac to make music for almost 15 years now and it's completely part of their creative process. 
They also have been using the iPad on stage since the very first days of its  launching to trigger samples and play instruments too cumbersome to carry. 
"Without Apple and its products", they say, "we wouldn't the artists we are today.
But we didn't want to write a song, we wanted to use Steve's very words and hear his own voice. That's why we used his memorable 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. We have chosen the words which seemed the most meaningful for us and for the occasion."

As an additionnal homage, they played all the music on an iPad, with GarageBand : a Steve Jobs Tribute using only his devices and softwares. 

To make a video; they used the same Stanford Address (made on a Mac too, with Final Cut Pro X).
The resulting music video is very touching and full of energy at the same time.
