Ads Push the Apples Cart

Shopping and Running Department: The Apples in Stereo have gone for airplay the newfangled way - they let a corporation buy the music. Their song "Energy" is being used in New Balance ad campaign while Target is tempting consumers with "Go." Band recently added 18 dates to an August-September tour in support of "New Magnetic Wonder." Enhanced CD features Robert Schneider's new "Non-Pythagorean Musical Scale," which features digital files of the scale's notes that enable fans and musicians to create music using the new scale. The "Non-Pythagorean Musical Scale" is based on natural logarithms.

Apples in Stereo Kid Around, Add Numbers

Apples in Stereo albums used to be tough to find and chances to see the band were sadly infrequent. That may continue as head Apple-ist Robert Schneider is landing other employment and making money  apart from CD sales.
Schneider, whose leads  one the country's great modern pop bands, will  pen the theme song and score music for  Disney's "Special Agent Oso." Twenty six episodes  have been ordered.
Schneider will also be a featured guest at  MathFest, hosted by the Mathematics Assn. of America. Seems his work as an amateur mathematician impressed the Math guys to say math and music "convey structure, harmony and beauty.”
Band's recent single "Energy" has been used in commercials for Microsoft, Saturn, New Balance and the A&E Channel, among others.
