Description

Holon creates a synthesized musical accompaniment from your activities and location data, based on places, contexts and environmental factors in your surroundings. Holon uses spatial computing and real-time synthesis to transform everyday experiences into opportunities for introspection and social connection. At Holonic, we think the Internet of Everything should be Musical. With Holon, music is created as a result of your behaviour and activities in the environment. Holon is a passive, Zero-UI app for functional and ubiquitous music, which means no screen interaction is required. Instead, the physical world becomes a musical interface. • Holon lets you perform music by moving spatially between different locations. The type of place changes the sound (LULC feature) • Headphones are needed for auditory feedback (action-perception coupling) to work properly • Use AirPods Pro/Max (optional) as head tracking controllers for even further musical embodiment. Set them to transparency mode for improved situational awareness and natural acoustic blending • Holon is made for outdoor use, GPS and mobile data - amount of data is low - are required to access data from your location, such as street furniture, local businesses and infrastructure nodes (POI feature) • For optimal auditory-motor coactivation, keep your phone in a pocket when walking • Holon showcases the Holonic white-label B2B platform for Auditory AR applications - send inquiries to info@holonic.systems Please note: Auditory Augmented Reality is a CPU and power intensive task. Ensure you have a full battery and keep the phone cool and well ventilated. Turn Holon off when not in use (swipe away the app or press the button with the Holon logo) IMPORTANT: You need to be in one of the over 500 supported locations for Holon’s POI and LULC presets to work!

    Open up you patch and listen to data streams guide the sounds. A wonderful river of auditory 1’s and 0’s awaits. It’s essential to use this with the holon.ist app and well worth the purchase price.
  • Fun app but useless for music creation

    Love playing with the iPhone version, but for sound design it is worthless, no way to get sound out through USB-C. I’d like to route sound to Logic Pro but doesn’t seem possible.
  • Wow!!! Great app!

    This app is so unique! I couldn’t find any app quite like this! It’s so cool how you can just move the phone in different ways and make music! I do have a few suggestions though. You should include a manual explaining which way you have to move your arm to make a certain song. That is pretty much the only thing this app needs to become the best Ar music app!
  • Wow

    I enjoy using this when I don’t feel like listening to my music library but also don’t feel like listening to podcasts or audiobooks. It’s neat noticing how the music changes slightly when my car goes faster or slower. I do wish the music was slightly more pleasant. Many times it sounds unpleasant.
