The idea for these recordings came about when I was making some music or sounds on my iPhone. I thought it would be interesting to produce some tracks that were constructed almost entirely from iOS apps. I imposed a time limit of two hours for each track. Once the sounds and loops and beats were created I imported them into Logic Pro for processing.

I enjoy working with limitations and hence the two hour time limit, and the use of only an iPhone for the sounds sparked my creativity.

95% of what you hear here was created with an iPhone.

The two vocal samples in the track AGB ("hear my voice" and "Alexander Graham Bell") are recordings of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, made on 15th April, 1885.

The following iOS apps were used:

Triqtraq
Yellofier
zMors Modular
Moog Model 15
Ripplemaker
Unique
Fractal Bits
Patterning
Guitarism
