Pretty amazing new app which lets you set a soundtrack for your life.
Welcome to “augmented sound,” an interactive soundscape combining pre-existing musical samples, artificial intelligence, and whatever it can pick up from your smartphone’s microphone. The result: an entirely new piece of music that’s yours, and yours alone.
Hans Zimmer, composer of music for the movie Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, sees this sort of thing as an evolution past the static MP3 that sounds the same every time you play it (see video below).
Zimmer, Inception director Christopher Nolan, and “reactive music” wizards RjDj have been working on Inception — The App for the past couple of months.
Now available for free in the iTunes App Store for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, this augmented sound app (like “augmented reality” but for your ears) is based on the same basic framework that RjDj has applied to the music of bands like Clinic and Little Boots to create augmented albums that never sound the same.
This time around, the added ingredient consists of passages from the musical score to the movie Inception.
