I only went back to this app as I’d seen a photo of the screen on instagram! Ok, not a great reason to return to an app, but nevertheless I did, and I’m glad I did too. Very nice for making ambient things and passing the time on the train.
Tag: iOS
Apple’s mobile OS. I find that I use iOS (on the iPad and iPhone) for a lot of things these days, mainly because it’s just so useful.
Back to bleep!BOX
I remember when bleep!BOX first came out. It was completely amazing. 4 mono synths, and 6 drum synths all in your iPhone. Wow!
So I decided to go back to it yesterday and see if I could make something and actually finish it this time, and apart from being quite surprised that I could still remember my way around on the whole I got something started which I’m really quite pleased with. It isn’t finished as yet, maybe I’ll wrap it up next week, but so far I think it’s pretty good.
And even though this app’s been around in iOS world for quite some time I still think it is pretty amazing and full of possibilities.
Cryptoclash
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?
Experimentation with CP1919
More sound experimentation.
More NodeBeat messing
That Tweakybeat screen
I really do like tweakybeat, and one of the reasons that isn’t obvious is that it is really straightforward and simple to use. The interface is completely no nonsense.
If you don’t know it, then you should.
I wish I could build a drum machine like this.
Nanoloop work in progress
Another work in progress piece. I find it interesting that different music apps make you work in different ways and inspire different musical styles. I really should try doing something radically different with Nanoloop. Perhaps with the next track.
Some tweakybeat
I hadn’t used this little app since the update that allowed recording, so I decided to record a little random tweakybeatness for no real reason.
Pug Synth
This app reminded me a lot of Bebot, but with a more, ‘dog’ feel to it I guess. Fun to play around with, and free.
My guest post at Music 4.5
The people over at Music 4.5 are lovely. When I first spoke to Rassami about a mobile music conference last year I was just amazed to think that someone would be interested in that kind of thing, but now, less that twelve months on, it doesn’t seem so strange.
I’m looking forward to the event on the 8th. The panel of speakers looks really good (yep, I’m on it too), and I think there’ll be a broad spectrum of issues raised to cover the mobile music world and where it has got to.
If you’re interested in reading my piece over at Music 4.5’s blog, you can find it here.
