REACTISCAPE is a mobile reactive music application designed to generate a musical composition in realtime based on the sounds of the soundscape around you!
By recording and resampling all sounds coming into the microphone of your smartphone, and adding some synthesised musical elements, REACTISCAPE creates a musical experience that will create a stronger connection between you and your surrounding environment.
Use it to explore the sounds of the city, as an alternative to your regular music listening or just to experience something different!
Designed and programmed by Sebastian Hastrup as part of a master’s thesis in media technology.
