In late 2012, I released a multitracking app entitled ‘Beyond Life
And Cosmic Kinetics’ (aka 'BLACK') on iOS devices. I hired a
programmer from Russia who built the app in XCode and made my
“interactive multitracking app” dream a reality.
The app was up for a few years, but Apple took it down when
iOS 11 came around and all apps had to be converted to 64 bit.
Since I was no longer in contact with the Russian programmer
my app was then taken off of the App Store because it could not
be updated to 64 bit.
Being hardheaded and persistent I took up programming myself
and rebuilt/redesigned 'BLACK' from scratch. The app is now back
up on the App Store as well on Google Play.
Basically, what the app does is take a song that I specifically
wrote for this application, and gives the user lots of options of
what parts/instruments they want to hear.
BTW, you cannot just upload/import any existing song released
in stereo into the app and magically expect the stems/tracks to
separate and load up so that you have control of them. Yes, it is
possible to release other songs with this multitracking app format,
but all stems need to be separated, synced, and programmed in.
Speaking of more apps, I just released 'Razor Blade Babies'
aka 'Rabies' as a multitracking app...
More multitracking apps are on the way, as are music writing
apps, music games apps, and other apps based on songs by
Blotted Science, Spastic Ink and my solo CDs...
For example, here's an app based on 'In The Name Of Ron' from
my solo CD 'Solitarily Speaking Of Theoretical Confinement'...
So check the apps out. I hope you dig them!
Thanks,
Ron
