A bit of history

Once upon a time, there was a website named iCompositions. This digital haven drew musicians and songwriters from far and wide, especially those who reveled in the creative freedom offered by Apple's GarageBand app. From 2004 to 2018, the website became more than just a platform—it was a daily ritual, an essential part of life for its passionate community.

However, unforeseen technical challenges made it impossible to keep the site running. With no other option, the virtual doors of iCompositions closed. Yet the community it had nurtured lived on, scattered but enduring, and the treasured memories of a place they once called home.

Over the years, attempts were made to reestablish a central gathering place. These attempts stumbled, but the dream never died. The community's desire for a dedicated home remained as strong as ever.

Then, amid this collective hope and undying passion, the time for a new beginning was ripe. Rising from this landscape, a new platform was born. Independent but spiritually connected to its predecessor, this much-anticipated haven was christened "iBandstand." And so, a new chapter begins...
