"Lis10er (Listener) 1.0 is a binaural audio augmented reality iPhone application that creates an 'augmented soundspace', warping and mixing the sounds from the microphone with prerecorded imagined sounds. Lis10er is designed by Matteo Milani and Federico Placidi (aka U.S.O. Project) in collaboration with Tue Haste Andersen.
Lis10er is an application that places the emphasis on the surfaces of the world in which we live. It has been developed keeping in mind the issue of 'environmental lis10ing' in everyday activities, like traveling, walking, reading.Mixing 'live' sounds and their aural context with designed sounds creates a new 'virtual Place' where the lis10er can immerse himself and develop an active aural consciousness in order to better understand the physical and social context which describe and define our everyday life.
The app interconnects places, everyday situations and sonic awareness.
Lis10er promotes a creative mode of lis10ing."

I'm curios what sort of feedback loop this might give you in the studio.
See the comments of this post for one person's experience with the app. Note this app is not a synth and best thought of in the same vein as the Buddha machine.
Here is my review at the app store...
ReplyDeleteI did not read the description of what this app does with enough care. All it really does is mix whatever is coming in on the microphone with prerecorded loops. The input does not seem to alter the sound of the loops in any way at all. I had thought that it would be sort or interactive. It isn't. For 4 bucks you get 10 looped ambiances and the ability to mix external sounds on top. The pseudo scientific description is fluff. And you can't stop the damn thing without powering your device down. I would really like to have my money back.
You shouldn't have to power down your device. Just double click the home button then hold down the app until you get the red x and close it. A lot of apps work this way. That way it can run in the background while you do other things.
