Incommensurate is a piece of music composed and performed by Fritz Menzer (using the Chronium app for iOS) that was re-imagined as an interactive 3D Audio experience for headphones. As you move the listener and the individual parts of the piece, every time you listen to it, you will experience it differently. 

Different automatic movement modes give you a dynamic 3D Audio experience even when the app is running in the background. You can record the binaural audio signal by pressing the record button. Press it again to stop the recording and obtain a AAC encoded M4A file that can be used with music players, smartphones, etc.

About

Aethron

Features
Read full description

Aethron is a minimal oscillator instrument for observing sound as waveform. Rather than a full music production app, Aethron is designed as a small sonic device for touching, layering, and reshaping oscillating sound. Add oscillators, tune frequency and amplitude, switch waveforms, invert polarity, sync phases, randomize signal states, and store the sounds you discover. Features * Multiple oscillators * SINE / SAW / TRI / SQR waveforms * Frequency and amplitude control * Fine frequency adjustment * SUM / SPLIT waveform display * RANDOM signal generation * POL +/- polarity inversion * SYNC phase reset * SOLO monitoring * STATES / STORE for saving setups * Automatic restoration of the last oscillator state Aethron is not a conventional synthesizer or a waveform viewer. It is a small instrument for touching invisible vibration through sound and waveform.
