As this is a Nic Collins app I thought I’d give it a go, but so far I’m not sure it lives up to his previous creations, which have been excellent and truly innovative.
Perhaps I just need to give it a bit more time?
Tag: experimental
Experimental anything really. I love things that are an experiment, be it music, art, electronics or most other things.
Experimentation with CP1919
More sound experimentation.
More work on beepLAB
Don’t get too excited, this isn’t going going to be some amazing new Palm OS music app any time soon, and quite possibly not ever in fact. At the moment it is just some experimentation on my part and that’s about all.
Having said that, I’ve managed to get a few little things working in it, like a menu bar, and a little keyboard thing going. I will tinker with it some more as and when I have new ideas, and I’ll post up the results here too.
SpectrumGen sounds in the Forbidden Planet-esque zone
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.
Another Palm OS app that I never finished: SliderOn
This app never really worked as intended. I should’ve finished it off really, but I didn’t and I’m not sure that it will get finished now. We’ll see.
I think there was also a video I made of this ages ago, I’ll see if I can find it and share it.
And more Jasuto
I just love playing with stuff in Jasuto Pro. It’s so good for experimenting with ideas. Even when they just don’t work at all.
My latest idea for Jasuto was a total failure. Which was great as it made me think of something else which was quite interesting to toy with.
Revisiting Oramics
Oramics is still one of those music apps that I find myself returning to regularly. Just for the making of strange noises and thinking about the pioneering days of electronic music.
Pixilang 3.2 arrives
I haven’t used Pixilang for a long time and so it’s great to see a new version and one with some really interesting new features like:
- universal containers (pixi-container) for any type of data;
- dynamically typed variables (for integer or floating point numbers);
- functions for sound synthesis and recording;
- functions for block data processing;
- supported formats: WAV, PNG, JPG;
- MIDI In/Out.
Of course, or most interest is the functions for sound synthesis and recording and the MIDI in/out as well. Sadly it seems that there’s no Palm OS version though, so I’ll be using it on Windows Mobile.
Music apps I haven’t used in ages: Future Sound
This was an app I got right back at the start of iOS music making. In fact, before it was iOS actually. It was one of the more innovative apps that came out, and more like art than a music making experience. It’s interesting to go back to it now as in many ways some of these ideas have been taken on by the likes of RJDJ in the work they’ve done with their Inception app and also with scenes in general.
I looked up their website and they’re still going, although it seems as though the iOS or mobile world isn’t the entirety of what they’re about, which is good. Interesting to see what they do next, although they don’t seem to have a blog or news feed sadly.
