someone who's doing some things
Experimental anything really. I love things that are an experiment, be it music, art, electronics or most other things.
This wasn’t one of the Strange Agency’s better ideas although the actual idea is a good one. I guess in any business you have ups and downs and the Strange Agency usually have brilliant ideas. Sadly, this wasn’t a great one. It works, but the implementation just wasn’t right.
I played with it again recently and whilst you can make a rhythm track with this it isn’t easy to get things to sound just as you’d want. I doubt that they’ll do much to update this app now, but even so, a good attempt.
I listened to this album for the first time yesterday. It’s a really interesting mix of her commercial and decidedly non-commercial work, although I’ve preferred listening to the non-commercial stuff most.
As an introduction to her music it’s quite interesting and will probably encourage me to listen to more.
It is beautiful to look at and amazing to play with, if a little difficult to get your head around. Still well worth it in my book.
Now that I’m back to using my iPad for music again I thought I’d have another go at Donut, and suddenly, it really clicked. I used it to record some vocal cut ups and it was wonderful, or that is to say, I really enjoyed it anyway.
I really do love The Strange Agency. They’re amazing!
I’ve been doing a lot more tinkering about with Jasuto of late and I think I’m actually starting to make things that, whilst quite experimental from my perspective, might actually be fun for other people to play with as well. So I plan to start sharing these to the Jasuto community soon. When I do, I’ll let you know.
I love the fact that someone made a Palm Sounds version of their app to celebrate when Palm Sounds was 5 years old. I really love the original Sprak app and this one is just as good, and reminds me that Palm Sounds was a really good thing and helped to create a lot of buzz around mobile music.
As I mentioned The Strange Agency’s new app ‘MegaCurtis’ the other day I thought I’d give CP 1919 a run again as I haven’t used it for a while. What an amazing app for very experimental sounds. I think I love all of the Strange Agency’s work, but I’m not sure I could pick a favourite out from their apps.
I’ve been playing with this new app from The Strange Agency and already I love it, especially the session recording. It’s excellent.
I bought this album after reading a really interesting interview with him in the Wire where he talked about his modular and composition methods. It left me so intrigued that I really wanted to know more about the sound and so I bought generator.
It has a lovely clean sound to it and I’ve found it very useful to listen to whilst concentrating on something else.
