RjDj
Written on September 4, 2008
This is fantastic, an application which is living up to the potential of the iPhone. A musical experience which is affected by the sensory input of the iPhone, audio from the mic input and movement from the accelerometer. RjDj has many different ‘scenes’ created by artists which use samples and music and are influenced by the sensory input in varying ways. Artists can even create and submit their own scenes, and I have no doubt that the entire application will be moddable in the near future.
This is all kinds of exciting, and not just as an artistic or musical tool. This application allows a rudimentary form of synesthesia to any who wish to use it, you can now hear your body moving. I’ll be interested to see how this application evolves. And if you’re interested in adapting your perceptions, how about training yourself to feel true magnetic north? An idea which was pioneered by a guy with a compass and a bunch of Playstation rumble packs on a belt (unfortunately I’ve lost the original article, but if you know it, link me).
