Turn Pictures Into Playable Sounds

A Pollisynth is a free app for the iphone that takes a picture of something, and then translates that picture into a unique sound-wave. In order to fully understand the colors that surround us we must engage an additional sense. A Pollisynth can be the gateway to your mindbrain, and can give you a good time doing it.

Remember that the spark to take a picture begins in the MIND, and funny enough, ends in the MIND once a song is made. There are a lot of ways to play with a Pollisynth – two people taking a picture of the same thing and then playing it, a gang of kids taking pictures of SLUSHIES and then making a harmonized song out of the soundwaves…

By logging into Facebook with Pollisynth you can post your sound-waves to your timeline as Presets. Your Facebook friends will be able to see and try out these Presets with their own Pollisynth and listen to your imagery. You can also re-download Presets you have uploaded and use Facebook as a Pollisynth sound bank online. For those who have reservations about Facebook, SMS and Email can be used to share images from your photo library that you know to generate worthy sounds. This works because the sounds are not random but entirely derived from the image, so rescanning an image will always result in the same sound so long as it hasn’t been manipulated. Your photo library will always serve as your offline sound bank.

Free Landwhale App For iPhone

Free Landwhale App For iPhone

@holdernessmedia has announced this free app for remixing tunes by Electronic music artist Landwhale. The UI is based on their Waviary app.

The Landwhale app features introspective, atmospheric electronic music that spans genres from 80s synth-pop to contemporary dub influenced electronica. Vocal samples are twisted into deep, haunting tones that blend seamlessly with lush, moody soundscapes.

The music is simultaneously ambient and beat-oriented, merging other-worldly textures and dense rhythmic patterns in a style that recalls Aphex Twin, Radiohead and Burial.

This is a universal app. Also works on iPad.

THIS APP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
