"The Monkey and the Snake" a Geir original

[Geir]

Another kinda weird monkey song

Completely recorded and mixed/mastered on the iPad.

Still trying to find my ways around Auria and all the fab audio-apps on the iPad. The Laplace synth is also kinda new, and quite different than any other synth I've used before. The "pianoey" sound here is a patch I made in Laplace

Damn Geir, you're becoming the iPad recording and songwriting master........this is a real beauty.....kinda spooky, very beautiful........I'm kinda in a state of musical bliss right now......bravo man, bravo.

Love it. Very haunting vocal. I like the subtle effects on the vocal and also the vocal delivery is great, You really feel someone telling a story...

[Farrell Jackson]

This is so cool Geir! I'm totally amazed that you can do this on an Ipad. Especially since I don't have one or wouldn't  even begin to figure out how to use one in this recording fashion.

There is peaceful and almost cordial atmosphere in this song. Was that the right word? Like in the church. Sounds so good that it's hard to believe that you made it with that little thing!

The vocals really remind me of Roger Waters on 'The Wall', really cool song. The synths are the one thing that would make me buy an iPad, however I am cured of GAS :-)

Very inventive use of the technology, with great results.

I'm a fan!

Epic music with brilliant performance, Geir! The production is almost orchestral! Damn...this is causing GAS to me . Well done!

[Groundy]

Just brilliant Geir, love it..........Alex

Dude, your a revolutionary, a visionary, a missionary of  technology in the world of music. I don't one bit understand how your crossing apps and making these intensely impressive compositions but this is a really cool song! When I use my phone I always treat it like an instrument, playing it live into the recorder, but you & Nick (others I'm sure) have really embraced it for so much more. SOOO cool! 3rd listen & I just love this brother! How did you get the Tuba, it's not in my download choices, I want a Tuba!
Rock On!

Thanks guys !!! Your feedback is much appreciated.

Yes it is fun to be able to do everything on the iPad. I must say tho, that I've just scratched the surface of what's possible, but having an iPad 3 I've come close to the limit of what's comfortable on doing with that. Auria is a VERY demanding app, especially when connecting to other apps and using plug-in effects simultaneously. I think I need an iPad air 2 soon

So I won't give up on my BR's just yet. They never let me down !! Start them up and you're ready to go. No latency, no worrying about CPU overload, and everything you need in one small box.

So ... I like both worlds ... and will continue using all the tools I have at my disposal. I'll pick up my acoustic when I get home ... and just strum and sing ....  .... (and maybe add some mellotron )

How did you get the Tuba, it's not in my download choices, I want a Tuba!
Rock On!

The tuba is a part of the 18 instrument "TonalEnegry Symphonic Winds" package. The all end up in the list of instruments with a "TE" prefix. So this is the "TE Tuba"
