## What is WretchUp?

An effect instrument anyone can play - sonic anarchy in the palm of your hand.

iOS Mars: "Barely controlled chaos“, "sonic extremes“, "well suited for live use“

Music App Blog: "if you like the occasional dose of sonic mayhem, then this is an app that will let you make it"

WretchUp is the sonic instrument from the imagination of Mouse on Mars Instruments. Used by the duo in their live performances, it's a playable effect inspired by analog hardware. Sing into it, speak into it, plug in an instrument, sample sounds, and then make sonic mayhem.

It's been tested in Mouse on Mars' live shows and used in studio albums. But now it's available to anyone - whether you're a musician wanting to create unique sounds or you just want to make some wild noises and frighten friends and enemies.
