Become truly ambient with Aura Flux
Aura Flux is an auto-generative ambient music app for iOS devices that encourages people to be visual with their audio production. Aura Flux is like an interactive dot-to-dot experience, where each picture created generates an individual and unique soundscape. Aura Flux comes with 48 instruments, four Seasons (keys) and a constantly evolving background ambience.
Chains of notes are created quickly and easily by visually connecting nodes using the multitouch interface. These nodes can be customized by setting the pitch, trigger rate, volume, decay and adding additional chord notes. By layering these chain reactions together, the user can produce lush-sounding ambient melodies and with the option to randomize many of the settings can introduce elements of generative music into their creations. The keys are locked to certain intervals so that it’s impossible to create harsh dissonance or unpleasant-sounding harmonies. There are a number of background ambience pads that serve to knit together a more coherent piece.
Aura Flux is a Universal app, so it will work on all iOS devices with one purchase. Aura Flux is priced at $1.99

Interview with ambient/minimal master Robert Rich
Robert Rich has been creating music in the atmospheric / ambient / electronic genre for three decades and is often heard on the public radio program Music from the Hearts of Space. His atmospheric spaces with unique rhythms often accompany his custom PVC flutes or the sound of the lap steel guitar played in a glissando style
During a concert stop in Des Moines he describes how his long form slow music relies on being in the moment and how he expresses sound in its flow from moment to moment during live performances.
Robert’s music has been a major influence in my own sound as an ambient musician and for years I featured his recordings when I hosted the now defunct Iowa Public Radio program Wild Rose Café.
