Description
Holon now reacts to even more locations and objects around you! LULC presets now work in all areas!
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! See coverage map at www.holonic.systems/holon

Ratings and Reviews
Wow
Very, very cool concept and execution. Would love Audiobus support.
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much! It’s possible that we could include Audiobus and AUv.3 support, but it’s more likely to be available sooner for our editor, Holon.ist, which already has MIDI out. You’re welcome to try the beta: http://bit.do/holonist
My background music form now on lol
I'm impressed-this app lets you interact with the invisible musical ethereal space within which sound itself awaits papered to be drawn out of the world through the interaction of consciousness and action..... Connect to your loved ones and hear the music echoes of themselves, in realtime? whenever you feel too far distanced!!!!! Awesome!!!
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much! Our next update - out soon - has even more real-world musical interactions and several new presets to explore, hope you enjoy them!
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!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review and kind words. We’d like to help but the complexity of our music engine is such that we ourselves cannot completely fathom it’s workings. Holon is very much about exploring the features first hand and some results are not always replicable, as the factors behind them involve the weather, time of day, distance traveled and so on. Our editor, Holon.ist, on the other hand, is a fully configurable meta-instrument. We wish you many happy moments with Holon.
