Live improvised session (ipad only)

A friend asked me to prepare a small live session for his party yesterday. Since i wanted to do it with the least possible effort i made the experiment to do it on ipad only and for most parts improvised. One part was spontaneous improvised stuff with live sampling of a toy music box, toy robot, voice and a buddha machine and the the other part were small sketches i made with SAMPLR together with some beats with seekbeats. Not to forget my new volca bass. Since it was for a party i tried some more "for the floor" focused stuff, therefore it's a bit techy. And since i am a fan of small setups i was happy to see everything did fit into one shoebox
- iPad
- Korg volca bass
- Akai EIE
- Zoom H2
- Korg NanoKontrol
- BuddhaMachine
- Robot toy
- Cables etc.
Apps used:
- Samplr
- Seekbeats
- DM1
- Turnado (for various master fx)
- Echo Pad (for the incoming volca bass on a seperate input channel)
- Beatmaker2 (only for compressing the output a bit and sidechaining the incoming volca bass to the beat)
I recorded the whole session and cut out some snippets for you. Shure the mix isn't good and it's mainly a sequence of sketches but all in all it was great fun to do something live again and being not tooo prepared. I used to be (and still am) absolutely frightend of playing live and therefore tended to prepare everything meticulously.
