Monandaeg

Mōnandæg is two field recorders that cannot leave anything alone.

Record what is around you — a street, a kitchen, a train — set the two ends of the loop, and let it run. Record a second take and the two loops run side by side. With LINK on, the shorter loop lines its head up with the longer one every time it comes round, so they stay in step however different their lengths are. With LINK off, they drift, and the drift is the piece.

A running loop is worked on from the rooms:

DECK — record, clear, undo; speed, reverse, and the two ends of the loop BAND — three bands and a low cut, copied from one deck to the other DISC — how the disc behaves: catching, opening, scattering, burning, healing BREAK — a step machine; one row of sixty-four squares shows as stripes below BITS — break it into grains FREEZE — hold one instant and stretch it VOID / CROSS / SEND — remove, cross, send PULSE — strike the squares SPEAK — type a line, have the device read it, and use that as material CHANCE — roll dice across the knobs LOOP — the loop itself

The shelf is the app's own folder in the Files app, so your own recordings go in and your takes come out, by hand, whenever you want.

Landscape only. Everything happens on the device: no accounts, no network, no analytics. Recordings stay in the app and are never uploaded or shared.
