Back in 2009: Apple and the idea of casual music making
In many ways I still think that this is very valid today, and in fact I hadn't realised that it was back in 2009 when I first wrote about it. It seems like such a long time ago now.
Back in 2010: The mobile music alphabet - I
Surely everything starts with an "i" now? Anyway, here was my mobile music alphabet for "i" back in 2010. There are loads to choose from now of course, what would be yours?
Back in 2010: The mobile music alphabet - H
Another mobile music alphabet, this time for the letter H. Again, there are some of my old favs in there, and some things that are no longer available too, which is a shame. So what would your "H" entries be now?
Back in 2010: Phone Guitar
But this isn't like any kind of iOS guitar you might be used to now. It is interesting to see how people experimented a bit more back in 2010.
Back in 2009: Colossus running a Moog
Whenever I see this it reminds me that I never made one of these but always meant to get around to it. Great to see it in action though.
It's a sad day, this is the last DMT ...
It's with great sadness that I post this last video from DMT. It's the last of the regular shows, and they'll be greatly missed by me and many others I think.
You were great DMT, really great. Hopefully we'll see a few one off shows, and I'm looking forward to the 'best of' too.
What's your app of the week?
What's the app that's been most useful or the most inspiring this week? Or maybe just the app that's been your work horse for the last few days. Tell me which one it is and why.
Back in 2007: More first steps with Audio Box Micro Composer
I really should get this app out and give it another go. Back in 2007 I was just getting to grips with it and finding out about using the sequencer.
Conductr & CaboSanRoque: HiLo (teaser)
Video description:
"A short (REALLY short, actually) advance of "HiLo", a project by Conductr and CaboSanRoque.
To be premiered at Sonar+D 2015 (18, 19, 20 June, Barcelona).

In 2008: The iPhone gaining ground
It's funny to think back to a time when iOS (although it wasn't iOS back then) wasn't my primary mobile music OS. Looking at this post I was certainly not convinced of the iPhone's supremacy back then, and hence the comments in this post.
The mobile music Spotify list
If you're interested in listening to music made on mobile that's on Spotify, or if you want to add your own music that's on Spotify to this list please go ahead. Here's the link for the playlist. Enjoy!
Rhythm necklaces ...
Rhythm Necklace App from Rhythm Necklace on Vimeo.
Video description:
"Rhythm necklaces are circular representations of repeating patterns. They’ve found application in fields as varied as Crystallography, Radio Astronomy, Nuclear Physics, and Ethnomusicology. When applied to musical rhythms, circular representations show the underlying geometric properties that make them enjoyable, such as the degrees of evenness and symmetry. Computer scientist Godfried Toussaint has found that analyzing rhythms geometrically reveals surprising relationships between rhythms the world over. In fact, Toussaint has shown how a core group of geometric algorithms can generate rhythms employed in African, Cuban, Balkan, and Spanish folk music, to name a few. The Rhythm Necklace iOS app is a musical sequencer for exploring the geometry of rhythm necklaces, and for experimenting with generating rhythms algorithmically.
Rhythm Necklace is made by Meara O'Reilly and Sam Tarakajian."
Happy app birthday to Bacterial Orchestra
Bacterial Orchestra arrived back in 2009 on this date, but I have to admit that I never really got my head around it.
Back in 2010: The mobil music alphabet - G
Another mobile music alphabet from the past. This time G, with some apps that have disappeared from view and some old favourites in there too. So, what would be in your entries for G now?
