Sonic Touch: Episode 5
Gaz and Nick nailed down a name for their IOS5 audio show, Sonic Touch. The previous episode is here. Sonicstate’s IOS5 news page is essential.
My current favorite hand audio app is Animoog for iPhone 4. The following video features the previously released Animoog for iPad.

iPad Music Show
An iPad has come into my house under the care of the mrs.. She’s let me put apps on it, yet understands I am holding out for IPad 3 in March. Meanwhile, I’ve really loaded the iPhone 4S up for the purposes of musical experimentation.
I have good will power, umm usually, so I can get away wit the tantalizing videos from SonicState. I will not b u y t h u m b m u s i c right n o w.
Kamelmauz: Limber I Monos Om (mini ep)
This new set follows from the surging iPhone band-in-a-hand moment. It refers to a truly odd collaboration made possible by the strange new world of the iPhone, its so-called apps, and the kinds of sonic exploring the technology makes possible. Originally I was just biding my time, waiting for the iPad, and knowing eventually be plugging it into the studio machinery.
But the iPhone came along and with it–soon enough–came a slew of app-driven opportunities, including the most prime ones of all, courtesy of ambient giants Brian Eno and Steve Roach. I have collaborated with each, and with their colleagues, in these two slow, ambient pieces. Almost anybody who has an iPhone knows what I’m speaking of–Bloom, Trope, Air–in the latter case, and, may well also know of the fine Immersion Station app of Steve Roach and Eric Freeman. (Visual mixing is very cool!)
The odd point is that none of my collaborators know they have served as my collaborators! Yet, it was inevitable I was headed toward plugging iPhone/iPad into my digital rig and into Logic and force such collaborations to bear sonic fruit. Several other apps were used; I didn’t keep notes for the ninety minute exercise cum experiment. And, at the end, I did process the tracks in the convolution reverb studio and did a down-and-dirty (what I term,) mixmaster.
The overarching formula for each piece is: Intro (Eno) / Outro (Eno+Roach.)
As always, full digital, free download are available at Kamelmauz-Soundz Bandcamp for the savvy and well-equipped soundnaut.

Band In Your Hand
iTunes app store come-on
The same week I junked my five year old dumb phone for an iPhone 4s, I’m cruising the app store like a fiend, having prematurely reached the foothills of an artistic vision. You see, I’ve had my eye on an iPad but had decided to wait until iteration #3. I figured spring or fall next year. I had my sights on using it as a musical platform, especially in the ‘generative’ that has blossomed based in the touch screen.
Then my Nokia flip punked out. The T-Mobile sales gal couldn’t arouse herself to try to sell be a Android phone, my muse and wife bought an iPhone, and, two weeks later I stuck my head in a Sprint store and got the last iPhone in their stock.
Checked out all sorts of free and cheap apps and soon enough shards of experimental leavings were flying off my enthusiastic whirling around this band in your hand.
The following facetune took about fifteen minutes to conjure, and then about a half hour in iMovie to assemble and render.

iOS audio gear: Sound Prism
Audanika plus youtube channel
Tantalizing. Audanika reminds me of iXi-Audio, in that interface innovation is front and center.
(Hoping iPAd 3 hits in the late fall.)

iPad music app compendium: en.440audio.com
Argon iOS synth by Icegear.
I’ve been picking up app announcements for iPad music software from the great Rekkerd portal. Now, a site specializing in iPad goodness has come online, e440 software.
The iPhone seems to me too small to use as a live audio workstation. Yet, I appreciate the ingenuity.
440audio is a good start at bringing all the iOS audio apps together. At such time it makes it easier to figure out what apps are optimized for iPad, and, next moves to include app end-user commentary for the purpose of filtering the wheat from the chaff, the site will be even more useful.
