description: live performance - ambient music application "borderlands" - ipad / ios


possibly the most purely "musical" of the four, because I made a conscious effort to work mostly with the music samples, and not include as much of the "voices" samples - but either way, I think this is a truly lovely take, you can't really go wrong with this application, "borderlands" is a genius design, it's hugely fun to play because of the screen layouts / interface (it has this in common with TC-11 and TC-Performer, my other two favourite interfaces / music applications) - there is nothing else quite like it.

so, for this piece, I decided to stick more to the "musical" samples, and I think that strategy paid off, this one has a really lovely, dreamlike, ambient quality that the other three don't quite have - they have more activity, more interesting sounds appearing and disappearing, but this final track, brings these improvs to a close with some lovely melodies.

in future, I am planning to load some of my own samples into this tool, and try re-configuring them with the "borderlands" interface - it's a lot of fun, playing with the nice samples that they have provided, but at some point, I want to load some of my own sounds on, and have a go with it that way. this thing is seriously, too much fun, and I cannot recommend it highly enough if you like ambient music-making (it doesn't have to be ambient, actually - you could play metal with it if you loaded the right samples!!) or music-making of any kind, "borderlands" is a one of a kind experience, and for me, a dream to play.
