ambient_01 magnetosphere : dictaphone + field kit + guitar

Two dictaphones with three tapes (field recording, Rhodes, and synth), played through the Koma Elektronic Field Kit provide the bed; the iPad provides the mixing surface and effects. Unfortunately, I can't include the iPad screen in this video, as it is running unreleased software that I'm not allowed to show. Multi-speed on the Rhodes tape and acoustic guitar provide the top layer.

Great environment you created, and I'm glad you kept it spare, melody-wise. Well done!

Amazing!! I love it.

Beautiful! The video is playing at 360 for me, not sure if this is intended, but it makes it all the more lovely, having a LoFi ambient feel, I'd love to see an entire album of this!

It takes about 5 minutes for the high-resolution formats to finish processing.

I love it Chris! But how do I connect my field kit to the Ipad? Trough the nanocontrol?

[@ChrisRandallMusic]

You just use any USB class-compliant audio interface. I recommend the iConnect Audio 2 or 4.
