In my previous life: 
This Channel is dedicated to Music I make on my iPhone 
I plan to primarily use it for music composed using NanoStudio, an iPhone music app with a really cool touch sequencer, a four part analogue style synthesiser and a drum machine/ sampler and best of all NanoStudio lets you load your music directly into SoundCloud.

Later on I am hoping to give a few more iPhone apps a go like technoBox, ReBirth, BeatMaker, Jasuto, Moog Filtertron, iceGear Argon, Randgrid, BeBoot, NLog  & Bloom.

The magic for me is the ability to make music while chilling on my sofa on a Friday evening without having to go up to my fully equipped studio in my Loft, but if I am not to lazy I may do some recordings of two iPhones at the same time so can have one running NanoStudio and improvise on the second using BeBoot or NLog and maybe even find a use for TouchOSC (Open Sound Control messages – over Wyfi).

And if anyone wants to by me an iPad then the Korg iMS-20 and iElectribe (:


I sporadically make synthesizer modules, largely using MFOS printed circuit boards, and then mess about in a very un-directed way making a variety of noises with my growing modular synth. I have a number of modules waiting to be completed but so far I'm using three VCOs, three LFOs, a couple of filters, a dual AREG, an ADSR, a dual VCA, an MFOS 10 step sequencer, a noise cornucopia, sample and hold, ring mod, phase shifter, MFOS mini synth and wogglebug. The MFOS Sound Art page ( http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/index.php?MAINTAB=ELECTRONART&VPW=1024&VPH=526 ) has spurred me on to record some of my noises and I'm learning to use Garage Band to broaden the range of strange noises which I can produce. I'm also trying to get to grips with making sounds on the iPad, particularly with the Korg iMS20, Rebirth and Animoog. Recently I've been sucked in to buying and assembling kits from Thonk which is a pleasure, and buying a few rather splendid modules from Make Noise and Mutable Instruments. I enjoy not taking any of my noise making too seriously :-)
