I was listening to an old track I'd made using Donut from the Strange Agency and it made me wonder what they were up to these days. Seemingly, nothing. Which is a great shame in my opinion.
One of my favourite apps from them was Donut. I used it on this track for the vocal cut ups. I always found it a really interesting app to work with. In fact, I think that about a lot of their apps. Innovative is the word that comes to mind. Which is why it's even more of a shame that they seem to have disappeared. I hope it's just a brief time and not a permanent thing.
Of course I'd love to see all their apps updated with the usual things, but more than that I'd like to see them continue to innovate and bring new ideas to mobile music as they have done in the past.
Having talked about innovation in interface design only recently I think that the Strange Agency have been right up there with the best. So if you know them, or can find out what they're doing and give them a gentle nudge to get back in the game, then please do. I'm sure it isn't just me who'd be pleased to see a return of their always innovative and interesting blend of mobile music tools return.
So, Dear Strange Agency, please come back. We miss you!

I listened to some of the Donuts demo stuff. Very cool, so I posted on their Facebook site to GET WITH THE PROGRAM for this community, which is on the brink of mass world takeover lol.
Does all life now need Audiobus like Oxygen?
I so agree. Their stuff is always so unusual, really changing possibilities for shaping and glitching. I'm always way more interested in that kind of thing than another synth or drum machine--although I don't want to underestimate the creative differences people are able to build into apps like that, too. My use of mobile apps is more as a sketch book, work book, so to speak, for making sound elements to include in desktop work. I hope they'll read your post and give an update to those of us who love their stuff.
I was just thinking the same thing. Audiobus support would be fantastic. I love Curtis for iPad. It's my favorite app for granular synthesis. Let's hope they're listening!
COOL!
