UK singer/songwriter Adam Jansch and US band Bluebrain have been making their own experiments. Jansch released his Futures EP as an iPhone app, with the hook that every time its two tracks are played back, they sound different. Meanwhile, Bluebrain have released three albums as location-based apps created to be listened to in specific places. “We weren’t interested in making games or videos to complement a normal release, but rather use these new capabilities to re-imagine how music is composed,” explains Bluebrain’s Ryan Holladay in Music Ally’s interview piece with both artists.

Which is similar to the Bronze format invented by another artist, Gwilym Gold, last year, and also released in app form. “The idea here is to open up record media to previously unavailable creative potential, whilst presenting songs to the listener in a familiar form.”
