Apps

          I've been composing music with an ipad. It's pretty dang amazing what apps can do. Equipment that would've cost thousands of dollars in the past is now $2.99-$4.99. The most expensive app I've bought so far was $15.00.
          I have experience working with vintage synthesizers, Moogs, Korgs, and samplers, so in a sense I'm rediscovering elements of my youth by composing electronic music. I have no shortage of ideas, but I haven't figured out a proper workflow yet. I've tried various approaches to sequencing, using different apps, but I'm not yet satisfied with the results. I'll be posting tracks soon, nonetheless. I figure my methodology will solidify itself as I gain practical experience, or when I find that perfect app.                                
          Writing songs is about sixty-two times harder than composing electronic music, but I like both mediums. There's a freedom to technology, it's called the delete button.
