dreamSTATE - Ephemeral City app for iPhone and iPad

The new Version 3 of dreamSTATEs multimedia iAlbum of ever-changing ambient music and urban ambient art can now be used by both Listeners and iMusicians:

(1) For Listeners - A new infinite music arrangement is created for a unique sonic experience every time Ephemeral City is played.

Lose yourself in the endless drift of the ephemeral ambience, while walking through your own city, while reading, working, creating, thinking, relaxing or sleeping. This iAlbum can also play in the background while you read your e-mail or e-books or browse the net on the same iDevice.

While Ephemeral City weaves a fresh musical arrangement for you every time, you can adjust the density of the mix from a rarefied atmosphere to a full-on flow or from the dark to the light. Set the Timer to define the length of the album. Adjust the speed of the visual transitions to reveal new fusion imagery.

(2) For iMusicians - Open Ephemeral City as an Inter-App Audio (IAA) Generator/Instrument in your favourite "host" applications (like Audiobus, Aum or apeMatrix) and process the infinitely evolving Ephemeral soundstream through your Effects apps to transform the audio into creative variations, for your own pleasure or for professional purposes.

Improvise or compose with the endless soundflow. Treat Ephemeral City as the ultimate textural drone oscillator. If you record your creations, dreamSTATE permit you to release your transformations under the most open creative commons attribution 4.0 license.

(Art) Place your iPhone or iPad in your speaker dock to display the evolving visual art of Scott M2s surreal cityscapes. Employ the mute button for a pure art experience or turn off your screen for a pure musical experience.

Trailblazing Canadian soundscape artists dreamSTATE (Scott M2 and Jamie Todd) created their first evolving ambient installation in 1996. Now, with the help of ReFla5h the Apptician, theyve created an infinite multimedia ambient installation for your iPhone, iTouch or iPad (with iOS 8.0 or higher).

Welcome to a new paradigm for albums - experience Ephemeral City now.
