Forget Strings and Sticks. Aeroband Wants You to Make Music Out of Thin Air at SXSW

The tech world typically respects the sanctity of the Sunday snooze, but thanks to SXSW, Aeroband decided that March 9, 2025, was the perfect day to drop their big announcement. Admittedly, their smart music tech sounds pretty cool, but here’s the problem: most tech reporters don't work on Sundays. So instead of a regular article, SiliconSnark is doing what any self-respecting music tech company would appreciate. We wrote a song about it.

(To the tune of any generic startup launch anthem—think dramatic synths and an overenthusiastic acoustic guitar.)

Verse 1: It’s a Sunday drop, yeah, the timing’s weird, But Aeroband’s got no Sunday fear. They brought a smart guitar, a drum in the air, A booth at SXSW if you wanna be there.

Chorus: PocketDrum! Strum-strum-strum! Hit the air, yeah, feel the fun! Play in silence, MIDI dreams, filled with tunes and hard rock screams.

Verse 2: They’re changing the game, at least they say, A “pioneer” in music’s AI way. Guitar tones shifting, drumsticks swing, But will it replace the real thing?

Bridge: Tag us on Insta, win some gear, Hope your reach is crystal clear. Play anywhere, disturb no one, But let’s be honest, it’s just for fun.

Outro: So if you need an instrument that’s light, And you don’t mind the Sunday hype, Check Aeroband, if you dare. But read the real PR, if you care.

...

There you have it, folks! A launch so groundbreaking, it couldn’t wait until Monday. Rock on, or at least…air drum on.
