someone who's doing some things
Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
Another app that I always thought was a little overlooked and had a lot of potential. One of the problems with it was that it was quite complicated to get to grips with. Perhaps that’s why it didn’t get the attention it deserved.
I’m giving it another go though.
I’ve been talking about doing this for ages, and finally I took the plunge with a premium spotify account. It’s only day 1 and so far I’m impressed. I thought I’d listen to a few albums that I’ve been thinking about buying but just haven’t gotten around to.
So I listened to VCMG, SSSS, and Taylor Deupree’s Northern. Good stuff too. I think this is going to work out. It is a little strange to move away from the ‘owning’ model. But I’ll see how the experiment goes. I’m looking forward to trying out spotify apps, or SPAPPS!
A bunch of different theremin apps, mostly from the early days of the app store and iOS, and by today’s standards, not totally amazing really, but for their day, they were. Using the accelerometer to make music, gesturally on a phone was a pretty amazing idea, and these apps were the front runners.
I posted about this a week or so ago, and I couldn’t believe the number of plays this track had received at that point, but now that it’s gone over 6000 I really can’t believe it at all. Where will it all end?
I’ve mentioned Slice from the Strange Agency before, but this was a version of Slice they made but didn’t seem to publicise at all. It’s ok, not amazing, and functionally identical to the original Slice.
Whilst I think this is a worthwhile app and has some really nice features I already have a bunch of things that do much the same on my 3G device, so it won’t be staying sadly. But it is a good app and has a simple interface too.
To be honest, I never really got on well with Groovemaker, so it’s going from my 3G.
I really love Looptastic Producer, and this is an earlier version of the app with no ability to add in samples or loops in any way. Which makes it kind of limited really, but it’s been fun to play with again, although I won’t be keeping it on my 3G.
This is a really amazing concept. The idea that you can make a whole track just by singing different instruments. But it isn’t that easy to control.
Here’s another app that’s leaving my 3G. It’s fun, but not much more. Although I bet it wasn’t easy to make. Still, I can’t see a real use for it in terms of my music making.
