AEtheric Sonic Journey

About this app

AEtheric Sonic Journey is a hands-on instrument sanctuary for your phone or tablet. Play nineteen physically modeled instruments with touch, including singing bowls, handpan, steel tongue drum, kalimba, overtone monochord, chimes, bells, gongs, tuning fork, shruti box, and ocean drum.

Choose from seventeen scale systems and fifteen frequency presets. Tap to strike or pluck, press and hold supported instruments to rub them, arrange instruments across the stage, and watch the live oscilloscope and spectrum respond. Multi-touch lets you sound more than one note at once.

Every tone is computed on your device in real time. This build requests zero Android permissions, has no accounts, ads, analytics, or in-app purchases, and does not open a network connection. Nothing you play is recorded, uploaded, or shared.

AEtheric Sonic Journey is a creative musical instrument for exploratory and mindful listening. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care.

What’s new

Fixed multi-touch polyphony on the named note keyboard and an issue that could leave rubbed instruments sustaining after you lifted your finger. Includes responsiveness, stability, and performance improvements. Please update for the best experience.
