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


we now jump forward in time some five years, to ambient music recorded live on the ipad, for a possible video or two - it's unknown if any of the live tracks recorded on this date, january 24th, 2016, will be published in video form, but the audio mixes were too good to ignore - so we are presenting the first and only four takes made on the day, as they happened.

this was take one, I set up the application, got ready, wished myself luck, started the camera and the recorder...and played. there is nothing on earth quite as exhilarating as a live, unplanned improv, and I was more than pleased with where this one took me musically.

"borderlands" is one of my very favourite ambient applications, and I am so pleased to finally be able to present some recordings made with the app - I've been working with it for some time now; but this is the very first time I've managed to record it.

so "formation of the universe" is the very first take, and it's one of my favourites, there's absolutely no plan, so I just work with the wav files as I always have, carefully positioning them to capture both single sounds and other more complex, layered sounds - "borderlands" interface is truly unique: you can have as many sound generators as you want; the generators can be moved anywhere or flicked off the edge of the ipad; or the wav files themselves can be moved or stacked or stretched or even reversed.

this is one of my favourite applications to perform with, so I am really pleased that I can now present there four completely live tracks. what a remarkable application.
