Description

“It’ll restore your faith in adventurous songcraft” - Anil Prasad, Innerviews

C3: Motion Study presents innovative music in an interactive, touch-driven format for the iPad. Twelve C3 songs are transformed into a moving, multi-layered musical mash-up, a playfully pliable puzzle. Motion Study is visual and visceral way to experience the motion & emotion in this evocative music.

Seattle-based C3 is a collaboration between Steve Ball and Paul O’Rear whose unique music combines odd, intricate and interlocking guitar parts with stacked vocal harmonies. C3 performances feature a constantly morphing line-up of world-class guest musicians who collaborate to present improvised songscapes and multi-layered story-songs. Arrangements, tempos, keys, and harmonies unfold dynamically in the moment, and no song or show is ever performed exactly the same way twice.

The C3:Motion Study app reflects this same aesthetic.

Based on C3’s 2013 book and CD “Motion Study” this is the App equivalent of a live C3 show: subtle and surprising. The app, created in collaboration with Zentric – the world-class dev and design firm already doing amazing interactive work for Tony Levin and Genesis photographer Armando Gallo – gracefully unveils the hypnotic layers of C3’s music and art.

Wow! Every Song is an Interactive Adventure!

I love this app! The music is beautiful and it's great how can you play with the tracks so they will always sound different. I loved mixing a Robert Fripp soundscape by tilting the iPad. There is a music puzzle where the song sounds more and more complete as you are closer to solve the puzzle. There are mixers to turn instruments on and off on a multi track song or even where you can change the balance of each instrument for a perfect mix. The list goes on and on... Every song is an interactive adventure. Smart, entertaining and musically wonderful.
