Every year I remember Martyn, who’s amazing talent was taken from the world far too early. I only have this album of his. It’s an amazing album and an amazing idea for an album.
Take a listen. You won’t regret it.

Working on the Tabletop
The Retronyms pulled out an amazing app when they introduced Tabletop last year. It isn’t like any other modular environment on the iPad, but so far I haven’t had much, if any, chance to do anything with the newer modules.
So my plan is to get that sorted out very soon.
Galaxy Quest
Some days you need to watch a great old film on a Sunday just to get cheered up over going back to work after the weekend. Tonight’s timeless classic is the ever amazing “Galaxy Quest”.
What a lovely little film. Funny but not in a cruel way. A wonderful film, great performances, a lovely story. I love it. Does it show?
Remembering Martyn Bennet
Whilst I didn’t know him really, I mark this day every year. Remembering the passing of a great musical talent.
I shall listen to ‘Grit’ by Martyn later today.
More making stuff with Jasuto
The more I get into Jasuto, the more ideas I have for using it. That’s not to say that it is perfect of course, there are always areas that could be improved, but you can say that with any software.
Jasuto is perfectly useful as it is, but it would be great to see it updated sometime soon.
Interesting sounds with Buddha Machine
Buddha Machine has added a few nice features which prompted me to try it out again. It’s a strange music making app, but I do find myself warming to it though. It’s also interesting to work with the app against the actual hardware version.
The Best of Fad Gadget
I bought the best of Fad Gadget this week. I knew some tracks but not most. It was a great listen. I’ve really enjoyed it. There’s some great songs, and excellent lyrics. Well worth a listen in my book.
Patterns with MoDrum
Since I stopped writing Palm Sounds I’ve had a lot more time to spend on actually making music, and making the kind of music I’m interested in making rather than just testing music apps.
I was playing with MoDrum the other day and remembered just how much I enjoyed this drum machine and how versatile it is.
Showing the cracks
As you can see the cracks in my iPad are pretty nasty. So far the screen protector is holding it all together.
GuitarJack and some experimentation
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now although I’d wanted to use my iPad 2, but it seems now that it won’t be usable as an input device for some reason. Anyway, I used the GuitarJack in my iPhone 4 and it works very well. Using it with GuitarTone is good too, which I wasn’t expecting as what I wanted to achieve was a non-guitar like sound. I got close enough.
