ABOUT HOLON
Holon is an auditory AR app for city-wide, ubiquitous, adaptive music that is driven by the activity of listeners and their interactions with the environment. Holon can measure proximity to amenities, such as benches, bins, post boxes, shops, cafes and so on, effectively turning them into musical emitters and modulators.
Requirements are an iPhone and a data plan (amount of data is low). Headphones or in-vehicle audio are needed for perceptual feedback (AirPods Pro/Max recommended with transparency mode).
Musical sequences and events are created from geospatial data and environmental data in real time. Location type, directions, time of day and the position of the Sun/Moon all influence the music in various ways. For example, cloud cover can determine the musical scale, while activity/speed might trigger notes.
Holon is built on the Holonic platform for geospatial musical computing, available as a whitelabel solution for B2B clients. We can now provide artists early access to our content tools. Visit https://holon.ist for more information.
