Wow!

Get all the Variant apps.

Each of these apps are spectacular both visually and aurally. A feast for both the eyes and the ears.

Wonderfully done!

Well...

I was hoping to have it just generate music that i could listen to while walking, like the Immersion apps by Steve Roach, the Adrift app by Loscil, or the Longplayer app. I really like the sounds this app uses, but it seems to be specifically interactive audiovisual. It requires user input, and won't play in the background. Still, i have to rate it 5 stars, since it's great for what it was designed to do.
