In 2012, Tue H. Andersen and I pioneered the use of #AR
with sound by developing one of the first iOS app to create augmented
soundscapes: it was called Lis10er (pronounced
Listener, now removed from the App Store and
no longer supported). This groundbreaking experiment used the headset’s
microphone to pick up and alter the sonic world around you, warping and
mixing it with pre-composed hypnotic electronic atmospheres - in real
time.
The app is a mobile installation that places the emphasis on the surfaces of the world in which we live. It contains 10
themes: each one is a carefully composed “virtual place”, where the
sonic environment is encapsulated and transformed to invent a new
reality, mixing "Live" sounds and their relative aural context with
designed ones.
How It Works
Step 1: To get started you only need the earphones
or any other external headset with microphone.
Step 2: With the wet/dry slider you can blend the amount of the input source with the processed output.
Step 3: Swipe left and right to switch among 10 themes.
