Anyone else really digging this app? The new Moon sequencer is pretty wild, cool that they let you save what you create too.

I downloaded the app and purchased the first available track. I wasn’t too impressed with the graphics, track, or interactivity, just shooting down a wire frame tube and whatever I was doing didn’t seem to have any discernable or repeatable effect on the music. It screamed loosely thought out gimmick to me. I deleted the app.

Agreed,

It seemed a bit pointless really. Seemed like nothing I could do had any real effect on the experience, so not really "interactive" in any true sense. which is a shame, I was expecting a lot more from all the hype.

downloaded ("app of the week", some time ago), tried one minute or two, then trashed :roll:

I found the concept to be pretty forward thinking which Bjork has always exemplified. I did also find it to be a bit of a 'let down' aesthetically. However for the first album of its kind (iOS specifc) I thought she (and her team) are doing some very interesting work. It is at least a step above the enhanced-CD things that came out years ago. I never could get any of those to work...
