About this app

This happy sound and music visualisation app converts sound frequencies into light/colour frequencies, in the most scientifically accurate visualisation process available on Android. Will you find the aliens?

Special Features:
- Many geometries to explore the colour of your sounds
- Mood light mode for music-responsive ambient light projection
- Science page to learn more about our senses
- Secret modes to unlock

Instructions:
1: The visualization will begin immediately. Speak to your phone or play some music in the room. Select different geometries with 2 fingers.
2: Instructions are included in the app, you can access them any time with two fingers.

The art of synesthesia:
As trippy psychedelic synesthesia art, this app is an exploration of the relationship between our audio and visual senses, and the nature of our consciousness.

The science of the senses:
Your eyes contain 3 colour receptive cells, each having different sensitivities within the perceptible light spectrum. At the same time, your ears have different sensitivities over the audible spectrum. In addition, our eyes and ears re-adjust depending on the intensity of light and sound. Using real data on the nature of our sensory organs, the ambient sound spectrum picked up by your device's microphone is converted into light in real-time, so you can for the first time see the colour of your voice, music, nature and environment.


This app forms part of a larger project of synesthesia and sound visualisation. For more information, apps and more details about the science involved, please visit the blog site:

If you would like to contribute music for a future release, or use this process in your own projects, live performances, VJ sets, or other, please send me an email.

I had this app when it was called sound colour and I had it on all my devices and when it was quiet after a little while it would slowly go all white and on the negative spectrum it would slowly go black, at first I thought it was because on one device my phone was damaged but now years later I got a new phone and it's doing the same thing. Is there an explanation for this? Or have I found the aliens?! Thanks for making this, love it:)

There is an explanation :) Like our ears, SoundColour gains sensitivety to quiet sounds over time. The app renormalises the white level based on the volume in your environment. What you are seeing when you leave it quiet for a long time is the subtle noise and shifts in the environment and instrument noise from the microphone.

What's new

New crazy geometries to play with including "odyssey" and "icy moon".

A reward for those interested in science: will you find the aliens?

Cleaner interface and minor fixes and changes for a better experience.

A better "mood light" mode.
