After a long time I gave Gliss a go this morning, and it was even better than I remember! What a great app for drawing your sound. I’m certain to spend a bit more time with this app now.
Category: Music
Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
Remember SynthPond?
SynthPond was one of the first iOS music making apps and the concept still is very intriguing and interesting to play with.
I would have liked a way to record with this app and more controls over the sounds, especially filter and envelope controls. But, sadly, these were never forthcoming. Still, even without those it is still a great concept.
Concretedog’s album: The Coracle and the Yellow Shell
I’ve continued to listen to this album today, and I’m just amazed by the textures and chord sequences in this album. It is so gentle and subtle. I was also impressed by the very sparing use of electronics and how they were so well blended with the acoustic instruments.
And so to collaboration …
Next on the list is a collaboration with the awesome Concretedog. I’m really looking forward to collaborating with him.SpectrumGen sounds in the Forbidden Planet-esque zone
Concretedog: The Coracle And The Yellow Shell
I just bought this as soon as I knew it was available this morning, and I’m listening to it now as I expect to be listening to it for a few days. Wonderful stuff.

InGladAloness released on the 20th
New material from Dali’s Car is being released on the 20th of February. I’m really looking forward to the release, especially as it was the last music made by Mick Karn. So I’ve ordered my copy already.
Seems like there’ll be lots of new music this month.
Looking forward to Concretedog’s new album
It’s due out this Sunday and I just know it’ll be amazing. I’ve heard snippets and they’re great. If you don’t know Concretedog’s material, his music and hand made instruments you should take a look at his blog.
You won’t be disappointed.
Pixelwave and SpectrumGen
After PixiTracker I started to play with Alex’s PixelWave and SpectrumGen, which are great for making sounds like the music from the Forbidden Planet, and why wouldn’t you want to do that?
Recording with Curtis
Curtis is a great music making app for getting sounds going granular. I was using it at the station the other day and enjoying the sounds from announcers.
