Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Flowing Tides (GeoViolin, Volca Modular, Eventide Crystals)
On this week inspiration for this song was a Volca Modular patch with its Stochastic Sequencer making constant variations on a pentatonic pattern. I added generous chorus and reverb (FAC Alteza) and Eventide Crystals delay with gentle pitch shifting. This created a less gritty sound than the Modular usually does. Over this I added a rhythmic E pedal tone on my acoustic guitar, with some occasional other notes.
The main melody was played on the GeoShred app, using the GeoViolin sounds. After this I added a simple drum accompaniment and two short acoustic and wooden flute part.
While the violin does tend to give it a very cinematic feel, I made the rest of the sonic texture (especially by reverb modulation) intentionally oversized so it feels like there's tension between the two.
Comments
@Aletheia , another interesting piece. I preferred it from about 5 minutes in when there was more acoustic guitar but that is just my preference...
It could be, after all I have much more experience with the guitar than "playing the glass" of the iPad
