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.

^ you hero!
Surprised to see Ashra made the list. And for Basinski to be #3, though it's not my favorite of his (that would be this track:
That track and Silent Night are his best to me. Silent Night is the ultimate sleep album. The thing about the Disintegration Loops and many other of his works is that if you don't jive with the loop he uses initially (and I think he misses more than he hits, although DLP 1 is a real winner), well then you're just stuck for a while.
