Hi!

This is a bit of a self-promo since I’d love for you to listen to my music too, but I’m also curious—how do you all make music?

I create every sound from my own voice, then freely transform it into what I think of as living electronic sounds. I call this approach VocaMorph.

I thought people here in the experimental music community might relate to this:

Do you ever experiment with sound design first, then let the sounds themselves shape the music? The title, concept, or imagery all come afterward.

That’s how I usually work.

Does anyone else have a unique or unconventional creative process? I’d love to hear how you make music.

Hi!(やぁ！)

A little self-promo since I’d love for you to check out my music, but I’m also curious about how other people make music on the iPad.

I create every sound from my own voice, then freely transform it into what I think of as living electronic sounds. I call this approach VocaMorph.

I honestly think the iPad is one of the best tools for experimentation. The speed at which you can capture an idea and start creating is incredible.

Sometimes a single sound ends up shaping the entire track, and only afterward do the title and concept naturally emerge.

That’s how I usually make music.

Does anyone else work this way?

Or do you have your own unique creative process on the iPad? I’d love to hear how you approach making music.

VocaMorph

(Every sound begins as a voice.
Freely transformed without limits, becoming living electronic sound while preserving fragments of humanity.)

That probably sounds overly dramatic, but simply put:

Every sound is created from my own voice. Heavy processing is completely allowed—but I intentionally leave traces of the human voice behind.

The goal is to create living electronic sound and enjoy existing somewhere between humanity and electronics.

There are many approaches to making music with the voice, but I haven’t seen many concepts built around creating everything from voice and allowing unlimited transformation while still preserving something recognizably human.
So I decided to give this approach a name:
VocaMorph.

見てくれてありがとう！！(Thanks for checking it out!!)

Hello from Japan! 🇯🇵

This track was created entirely from recordings of my own voice.

My voice became the music itself—shifting, moving, and transforming into different sounds. Even though the mix is mostly mono, I wanted it to feel alive and constantly in motion.

I’m curious: what do you hear or feel when listening to a piece that has been sound-designed entirely from a human voice?

Hello from Japan! 🇯🇵

I used KOALA to create most of the sounds in this track using my own voice and vocal sounds. All of the sounds were created from recordings of my voice, and I did most of the sound design in KOALA before finishing the arrangement and mix in Cubasis.

I originally started making music by creating sounds from beatboxing, so working this way feels very natural to me. Honestly, using an iPad and KOALA is so much faster for my workflow than sitting at a computer.

Anyone else here using their voice as a main sound source? 😄

Hello from Japan!!

Quick question: is there anyone here who can only make music on iPad, express themselves better on iPad, or has a special reason why using a PC doesn’t really work for them?

I personally use KOALA Sampler, Cubasis, and BLEASS apps to freely create sounds using my own voice and beatboxing. I’ll attach a sample video!!

I originally made music on a computer, but… I started making music on iPad and iPhone because I didn’t want my wife to notice that I was still making music lol.

Now I’ve completely fallen in love with the intuitive workflow and how naturally it works with voice-based sound design. At this point, I can’t imagine making music any other way!!

Hi from Japan.

I make music using my own voice, an iPhone/iPad, and sampler apps.

I originally spent years practicing human beatboxing, but eventually became interested in a cappella and vocal harmonies. Over time, that evolved into wanting to create full songs in my own style.

I follow one simple rule: all sounds must originate from my own voice.

Beyond that, I freely manipulate, destroy, and reshape the sounds however I want.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
