It’s now been a few weeks since I downloaded both the free and premium versions of Groovemaker for iPhone (see here), and what a fun time I’ve been having!
I think I’ve created a strange new activity for myself (get your minds out of the gutter!) in those 10-15 min periods in a day where I am able to have a quick relax. Whereas before I might have been browsing some news or doing a bit of mobile email, now I find myself drawn to just doing a quick off-the-cuff mix in Groovemaker!
Being able to create on-the-fly, metamorphosing, continuous tracks, that seamlessly slide in and out new layers of music is a really fun experience, and for anyone that has an eye for music (and specifically the house, club, dance, and hip hop genres), this App is worth it’s weight in gold.
I could genuinely see this being quite an addictive activity to fill in time say when you are travelling (as a passenger obviously, not as a driver!), have a little down-time, are relaxing after work (like I try and do), or wherever you’ve got a timeslot where you feel the need to be creative!
If there is a defined genre of ‘casual gaming, then this App demonstrates something called ‘casual productivity’, where (unlike gaming) you have something to show for what you’ve been doing for that time period. To re-iterate, it’s an excellent App, the free version of it is superb also (unlike lots of ‘Lite’ versions), and if you have an iPhone you should download it and give it a go. Now 🙂
