A NEW WAY TO BE HEREIn development
The same reality.
A new world of sound.
An audio platform where sounds and stories change with your surroundings and what you do.
Familiar places. Scenes you have yet to hear.SCROLL TO DISCOVER
+01 — THE IDEA
A new scene in sound,
in the world around you.
ARP brings together works made from music, voices and other sounds, heard through your phone and earphones. Some tell a story; others create a mood through sound alone.
Turn a corner and the story might continue. Stay a while and another sound might join in. The creator decides what each work responds to—such as time, surroundings or movement—and how it changes.

02

03

+02 — THE EXPERIENCE
What changes
as you listen?
A rainy day, a walk, a moment of rest.
SCENE STUDY 01 / 03
WEATHER × SOUNDListen to the rain
Listen to the rain
on your umbrella, too.

- Under an umbrella on a rainy day
- How it is composed
- Quiet passages placed between stretches of music
- What you hear
- As the music quietens, raindrops on your umbrella become clearer.
+03 — WORKS
On days you wander.
On days you stay.
Stories, music and sound art each offer a different way to listen. We are developing ideas for works to experience on a walk or while resting in one place.
+04 — HOW IT WORKS
Tools to create.
An app to listen.
We are developing a tool for choosing sounds and deciding when they play, alongside an app for listening to the resulting works. ARP will bring making and experiencing these works into one platform.

+05 — COLLABORATE
Let’s work together.
We welcome creators, people who run spaces, and partners who want to make new experiences with sound and stories.
Creative collaboration
We would like to exchange ideas with musicians, sound artists and storytellers—from the sounds in a work to how it responds.

Questions & answers
Can I use ARP now?
ARP has not launched yet. We are developing the creation tool and listening app. Launch dates and opportunities to try ARP will be shared by email.
What will I need?
A smartphone and earphones are the starting point. Supported devices and other requirements will be announced when the works are released.
Does it only work in specific places?
It depends on the work. We are considering works for particular routes or spaces, as well as listening at home or during everyday life. Time, surroundings and movement can also shape a work.
How is it different from other audio content?
Where you go or how long you stay can change the arrangement of sounds or the order of a story. Creators compose these changes as part of the work, alongside the sounds themselves.
How are location and microphone access used?
This website does not request location or microphone access. The app’s data use and permissions will be explained before release.
How do you consider surroundings and safety?
Keep the volume low enough to hear your surroundings. Stop somewhere safe before using your screen.
