Description

The Aeolian Harp is named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind. Wind harps are the oldest forms of automatic music. The app uses the wind harp as a metaphor and allows the user to create relaxing animations and sounds without musical knowledge.

Touches and strokes generate visualizations and sounds which evolve in time.

User defined parameter and color schemes can be used to explore the manifoldness of the underlying particle system.

The compass can be used to locate the following instruments in the four directions of the winds: Balalaika, Celtic Harp, Guitar, Gamelan, Guzheng, Kalimba, Koto, Marimba, Orchestral Harp, and Sitar. Each of these instruments can be assigned to a compass direction with a double tap on a cardinal point.

The acceleration sensor is used to simulate the impact of gravity on the flowing particles. (You must increase the impact of gravity in the parameter settings to see the effects.) Other parameters can be used to control the duration of the sounds. Endless loops, for instance, can be created by a reduction of the evaporation parameter and an increase of the elasticity of the particles.

Snapshots of the animation can be sent via e-mail.

Recommended for headphones and external speakers (especially the speakers of the iPod and iPhone may distort high and low sounds).

Très belle

Permettant de se détendre

Magnifique !! ... Audiobus ?

Ne lui manque que le support audiobus ... une mise à jour prochaine ? ... Merci aux développeurs ;)

Une application qui est à la fois un instrument de musique et un outil de création graphique .plusieurs tableaux disponibles et possibilité de configurer les paramètres . ça vaut le prix .

juste un petit mot aux développeurs pour,la mise á jour : il serait formidable de trouver une option qui permette de laisser les cordes visibles (+ possibilités d'enregistrer ses sessions sonores) pour pouvoir en faire un instrument à part entière .

merci en tout cas pour cette très belle application . Une des meilleures qu'il m'aie été donné de tester jusqu'á présent :o)

Fantastic !

Finally an instrument with a simple but sophisticated interface.

Nice sounding and really musical results, not the robotic kind of output. One of the nicer music app's i found, and worth every penny of the small amount you pay for it.

I asked Uwe to add midi-out to make it possible to play other instruments like a synthesizer with this program, and it would be far nicer than a sequencer or grid or something like that. I got a friendly reply one hour after my mail to him! He will think about it.

Thanks for this very nice App , Uwe.
