IMATIK = IPHONE ALBUM

Tom Freeman, aka Freematik (US) produced an entire CD album using only an iPhone!

Before creating the album, dubbed iMatik, the Bay Area based music producer worked with several underground rap artists in the Bay Area. His production skills can be heard on a number of mixtapes and self produced albums, as well as in bars and clubs around the Bay Area.

With the release of iMatik, Tom explores new creative grounds in modern music production.

"iMatik is a fresh DJ mixtape full of phat beats, DJ scratching, live synths and all types of crazy sounds, made using only an iPhone. Everything was made using apps available from the iTunes app store, such as Beatmaker, iDrum, Flare, Jasuto, etc. The parts were programmed over the course of a few months, in places including hotels, motels, the beach, bars, and anywhere else you would bring a phone.

"While this initially started just as a way to have fun and do some music "on the road", it transformed into an awesome psychedelic hip hop and electronic music experience.

"Not my normal type of project but I really love it, maybe more than anything I've ever done. Plus it was crazy fun to make."

Making music with just using an iPhone and/or iPod Touch has been surfacing ever since the release of the first iPhone. Back in 2008 we did an interview with the Vienna based iBand.

Expect more iMusic to come!
