@notmorphy Thanks! I'm probably the latter. Pedal/amp building became a pretty addictive hobby of mine recently...I just have to remember to stop building and actually play sometimes!

The ULTIMATE Electronic Music Production iPad App: ELECTRIFY

Seriously, if you're even remotely interested in creating electronic music then you NEED this app.

I grabbed Electrify yesterday and have been loving it...very intuitive and fun. Just need a decent wav editor app to compliment it.

Of course, some automation and motion sequences would be great too...maybe in an update?

I just grabbed Electrify yesterday and am really loving it. I'm fairly new to sampling sequencing, but have found it a breeze to use. Now I just need an equally good wav editor app to compliment it.

About this user

Toronto's Dog Is Blue is an garage-folk duo that is made up of Paul Watson, principal songwriter and cookie-tin pedal enthusiast, and Laura Heaney, purveyor of ghost-noises and multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire. Together they bramble around proudly with all the jangly toys of a tickle-trunk and the surefooted bravado of travelling snake-oil salesmen. Lighthearted in their dedication to the ephemeral, the duo get their ya-yas out peddling a unique brand of self-described Ghost-Folk.

The band released their sophomore album, Tortoise, in May 2011. A reaction to their well-received 2009 debut, ...Makes Ghost Noises—a home-recorded effort, assembled piece by piece—Tortoise was recorded almost entirely live off the floor by Andy Magoffin at London, Ontario's famous House of Miracles studio. Captured largely in "human time," the result is a raw, honest and undeniably infectious collection of original songs that owes as much to the folk tradition as it does the tempest of rock 'n' roll.

Embellished by everything from the soothing viola of Toronto musician Anna Atkinson to homemade guitar pedals and old Casios, Tortoise is a rich and textured achievement that sees the band defy all classification. Sure, they're capable of penning some subtle and charming folk tunes, but rest assured, these two are unafraid to make a lot of noise. It's that duality that lies at the heart of Dog Is Blue as a band and of Tortoise as their defining album.

Heaney splits her time between the band and a burgeoning career as a contemporary portrait artist, while Watson builds amps/pedals and does the day to day for beloved independent Canadian digital music store, Zunior.com. They've shared the stage with the likes of The Burning Hell, Wax Mannequin, Shotgun Jimmie, Andrew Vincent and more.
