Welcome to the February issue of Mobile Musician Magazine! We are so excited about the positive response we received after we launched our premier issue in January. Everyone has been so supportive in the mobile music community and we want to say a big thankyou to all of you! I have met some amazing people in the last month that share our passion for music and technology. I have enjoyed speaking to all of you and I canʼt wait to share your stories with our readers. I have also learned just how vast our community really is. Over the last few weeks we have received new subscribers from around the world, confirming that music is universal and touches so many lives. At Mobile Musician we want to contribute to your enjoyment of music by bringing you stories of exceptional artists from all over the world.

This month we feature one such artist, Gary P. Hayes, who has had an extensive career in music and technology. He has been at the leading edge of computer graphics and sound sampling development, and has contributed countless musical compositions to radio, film, and television. He has been a television producer, music professor, and software developer. He is now a professional photographer and mobile musician to the extreme in the Blue Mountains of Australia. He spends his time exploring the landscape, composing music in the wilderness, and guiding photography enthusiasts on weekend excursions to the best locations. We sat down and discussed his favorite pieces of gear, his approach to improvising music, and how nature influences his music.

We also feature some great apps for IOS, NuRack and Euclidean sequencer by 4Pockets, along with the Korg Volca Keys, 1010Music Nanobox, and the Artiphon Orba. We take a look at a unique digital recorder, the JamHub Tracker MT16, which could be the perfect companion for the mobile musician and much more.

Thank you for reading Mobile Musician, I hope you enjoy this issue. Please drop us a line and let us know how we are doing. Jeremy Spurgeon
