This is so good it just needed it’s own episode.
It’s a groundbreaking, unique new way to make music online - and everyone should try it out ! It’s not just bleeps and beats, either - there are plenty of people using it to make fantastic acoustic and sample-based live-looping music as well.
I’m talking about Endlesss, the new live-looping-jam-with-friends-online iOS app developed by musician Tim Exile that I mentioned at the end of the last episode - and now it’s going to be available on Mac & PC !
I loved chatting to Tim for this episode, and there’s a ton of interesting ideas here even if you’re not that interested in the idea of Endlesss. We talk about:
- The problem of perfectionism in music production, and why it’s a mastering engineer’s super-power
- The best way to develop a new musical instrument
- How to fit 40kg of music tech in an iPhone - and why it’s worth it
- How not-live can feel live and how THAT can overcome anxiety and imposter syndrome
- And how Endlesss got Ian back into creating music after a 20-year break as a result

Hello, I downloaded endlesss for my ios after listening to your podcast. I use a screen reader due to a visual impairment and the endless app is 100% not accessible for blind people. my screen reader could not pick up anything. I could not find Tims email address to speak with him so could you please send me his contact info? I would like to offer my consultation and testign to make his app accessible. In 2020 we all must speak up to ensure access for all not just the sighted.
Regardds, Steph
Can you please email me Tim Exiles email/contact info so I can speak with him about making his app accessible for blind people/
Thank you
Hello,
After listening to your podcast I downloaded endlesss and found that it is 100% not accessible. I use a screen reader due to a visual impairment and the app does not work at all for blind people. I could not find Time exiles email/contact info so could you please provide it to me? I want to offer my consultation and testing for endlesss so it’s accessible for all people including blind people. In 2020 we all must step up to the plate and speak up and take action to ensure access to apps and web sites.
Regards, Steph
