Sound Weave

Features
Read full description

Sound Weave is a touch instrument made of drifting letters. Tap for piano notes and nature-inspired textures. Hold to gather a chord, slide up or down to change its register, and release to send spectral fragments through stereo echoes. Find a different atmosphere in forest, mist or night. Each scene has its own pace and texture while the notes stay in harmony. Spread two fingers to reshape a repeating fragment. Pinch and hold to plant a fading echo, or draw a broad circle to bring the notes you touched back as a short loop. Record up to eight seconds of sound. Layered grains and transformed voice fragments settle into the field and return at their own pace. Choose a woven blend or bring your sample forward with the sample-led mix. Two-finger ripples meet, letters drift, and a sparse accompaniment keeps evolving. Optional tilt controls stir the field. Cover the front camera to pulse letters and sound; uncover it to return to the original texture. Choose a palette or let colors follow the time of day. Sound synthesis and recording work offline. No account, advertising or subscription. Microphone, camera and motion controls are optional. Recordings are temporary: clear, reset or closing the app process removes them. Playback pauses in the background. Audio export and background playback are not included.

Read full description

WEAR is an AUv3 texture processor designed for making audio feel uncertain. WEAR makes no sound on its own—it is an audio effect designed to be loaded inside a compatible AUv3 host. Place it after pianos, guitars, vocals, drums, synthesizers, field recordings, or other audio sources to introduce filtered, warbled movement and texture. Built around instability, movement, and degradation, WEAR reshapes incoming audio through a collection of processes designed to add character. RATE and DEPTH introduce pitch modulation. GATE responds dynamically to the incoming signal, allowing quieter material to become increasingly unstable while louder sounds push through. FILTER reshapes the frequency range, while GRIME, WASH, and ROOM introduce different forms of texture, space, and degradation. The result can range from subtle movement to extreme transformation depending on what you dial in. WEAR intentionally includes no presets. Its behavior depends heavily on the material being passed through it, so it is designed to be adjusted by ear for each sound rather than treated as a collection of fixed effects. Exploration is encouraged.
