So at the beginning of this month, we reported via Destructoid that someone had discovered Harmonix licensing the rights to some hip-hop and dance songs; tracks that typically don’t fit the Rock Band mold.  I would like to say that you can assume these won’t be in the inevitable Rock Band 3, but with the Harmonix camp keeping mum on any future projects sans Green Day: Rock Band, there’s no telling what project may be next, and what type of music it could incorporate.  Many, myself included, speculated they could be revamping their Frequency and/or Amplitude franchises.

To add further confusion to figuring out what Harmonix may be working on, we find out from @kaleofuturisto on Twitter this little tidbit:

Harmonix, the creators of The ROCKBAND Video Game is planning on using one of my tracks for their demo projects. AWESOME!!

According to his Twitter and Myspace bio, he’s an artist who works on everything from Hip-Hop, to Pop, to Rock, to R&B.  I listened to a few of his tracks, and some have the potential to fit the “Rock Band” formula based on current instrument charting, but since he mentions a “demo project,” I’m thinking it’s not Rock Band 3.

I’m still standing by my Frequency/Amplitude hypothesis.  If you have any interesting theories, drop ‘em off in the comments… I’d love to hear ‘em!
