App test v 2.0

After receiving feedback from the previous test I did I went about doing another one. From feedback I got I new I needed to make the videos fit together better and add some kind of character/setting element.

I started by creating a short piece of music that could be split into 4 sections, I spent a while experimenting with chord progressions and different sounds until I created something enjoyable. This was mostly to test whether I am able to create the music for the app or whether I need to bring in a musician to help out. I think bringing someone else to the project would be beneficial so long as they can create work that fits with the ethos of the project.

I then thought about how separate components sounded and also how they sounded as one piece to then create the animations. The animations needed to function as singular entities but also work well together as one piece in any order.

I did some quick character design (something simple) based on the keyboard tone, then worked out the next animations for the other 3 sounds accordingly.


I tested the app on a small group of people creatives and non. The testing was not done in any kind of formal manor I just wanted to see if people enjoyed what I had made. The feedback on the second test was much better on the first people seemed to engage with the app a lot more and a few cases of people really experimenting with creating different sounds using the layering system (which is exactly what I wanted).

After this test I feel confident in what I'm planning on making and now need to work out the logistics of making the final app and then start designing from there.

Here are all the test clips out sounds put into one video:
