Abstract circles and squares on the surface of the iPad, with the help of which a composer can create music – this is roughly what the Belgian Beatsurfing looks like.
One of the beta-testers of this app was Russian musician Sasha Kholenko (DZA):
“A couple of years ago I had a free week and decided to go to Belgium to visit my old friends – Jon and Pascal from Herrmutt Lobby. Those guys were very busy at that time with writing alternative programs for various midi controllers, they made things that had nothing to do with music sound. For example, no one would use a Sony Playstation joystick to control a drum machine, or a DJ controller like that. How exactly the idea of making software for the iPad was born, I do not remember, but a year later I already had the first beta version of the program, which is an organic editor for building midi controllers and remotely control almost any device or software. Remarkably, this innovative software came out as a release from the Belgian electronic label Vlek Records”.
