City Sound-Sampling Experiments

HIFANA Uses Fresh Push Play App to Create Beats With City Noise

W+K Tokyo Lab and the Tokyo-based breakbeats duo HIFANA have teamed up to conduct this cool mobile sound experiment using the Fresh Push Play iPhone app. The Fresh Push Play app is a sound sampler and sequencer app created by developed by W+K Tokyo Lab, and you'll be amazed at what HIFANA manages to do with it.

Taking to the streets, the duo takes the Fresh Push Play app and records different sounds from the city -- a gong being struck, chants from a temple, traffic noise and more. The pair come together at the end of the experiment and create a musical performance using what they captured. The results are phenomenal, as you'll see in this video.

This experiment is certainly a creative and innovative one, showcasing how today's cool apps and tools can help anyone create great music.
