Biophilia теперь доступна на Android!

Кампания Apportable портировала приложения Biophilia на Android

Эй! Итак, как вы возможно слышали, была идея сделать приложения Biophilia доступными на Android. Теперь это стало реальностью!

Приложения были неотъемлемой частью образовательной программы Biophilia, придуманные Бьорк и многими другими разработанные и реализованные как новый способ обучения детей музыке и естественным наукам. Это был великий путь, но для того чтобы привлечь больше людей, мы решили, что приложения должны быть доступны для платформ на Android. В представлении Бьорк приложения Biophilia должно быть в широком доступе, и Android играет важную роль в этом.

Изначально мы пробовали Kickstarter, но потом эта удивительная компания под названием Apportable обратилась к нам и сказала, что возьмется за проект. Они придумали новый способ конвертации приложений на Android, который стоит намного меньше и занимает гораздо меньшее время, чем ожидалось ранее. Поэтому мы отказались от кампании на Kickstarter и спустя несколько месяцев они сообщили что приложения готовы! К счастью для нас эта технология была разработана так, что теперь это можно сделать при минимальных затратах. Поразительно, правда?

Все десять приложений поставляются одним комплектом для загрузки за $12,99 и доступны уже сейчас.

приложение Biophilia

Biophilia is an exploration of music, nature & technology by the musician Björk.

Biophilia is an extraordinary and innovative multimedia exploration of music, nature and technology by the musician Björk. Comprising a suite of original music and interactive, educational artworks and musical artifacts, Biophilia is released as ten in-app experiences that are accessed as you fly through a three-dimensional galaxy that accompanies the album’s theme song Cosmogony. All of the album’s songs are available inside Biophilia as interactive experiences: Crystalline, Virus, Moon, Thunderbolt, Sacrifice, Mutual Core, Hollow, Solstice, and Dark Matter.

Björk has collaborated with artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers to create an extraordinary multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces, processes and structures — of which music is a part. Each in-app experience is inspired by and explores the relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. You can use Biophilia to make and learn about music, to find out about natural phenomena, or to just enjoy Björk’s music.

Biophilia opens into a three-dimensional galaxy with a compass allowing navigation between the 3-dimensional universe and a two-dimensional track list. Take a closer look by tapping on stars within the constellations and you’ll see that each is a full app-within-an-app that gives access to the inspired combination of artifacts for each new Björk song: interactive art and games, music notation which can be used to sing along karaoke-style, abstract animations, lyrics, and essays that explore Björk’s inspirations for the track. These artifacts bring together conventional and alternative ways of representing and making music to create an environment for entertainment and learning. Biophilia challenges the way we think about music. Here, for the first time, is a music album that exploits the multimedia capabilities of mobile interactive technologies.

Biophilia was developed by Björk in collaboration with interactive artist and app developer Scott Snibbe, and Björk’s longtime design collaborators M/M Paris. The individual apps were created by Luc Barthelet, Drew Berry, Kodama Studios, Stephen Malinowski, Scott Snibbe Studio, John Simon Jr., Touch Press, and Max Weisel.

• Three-dimensional galactic interface with the song Cosmogony
• Nine fully interactive song apps
• Music scores with karaoke playback
• Abstract song animation

Björk cancels Kickstarter campaign for Biophilia Android and Windows 8 app

Björk’s Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund the development of a new version of her Biophilia album-app for Android and Windows 8 has been cancelled, just 10 days after it launched.

The campaign was aiming to raise £375k in 30 days for the port of the critically-acclaimed iOS app, but a third of the way through, it had only attracted 263 backers and £15.4k of pledges – just 4.1% of the funding goal.

Visitors to the project’s Kickstarter page this morning see this message: «Funding canceled. Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator about 19 hours ago.»

It’s one of the most high-profile failures on Kickstarter, in stark contrast to the campaign last year by US artist Amanda Palmer, who tried to raise $100k for a new album, book and tour, and ended up with $1.2m from nearly 25k backers.

Björk’s campaign had an educational focus: she wanted to port Biophilia to Android and Windows 8 in order to get it onto the devices of more students, particularly those in the developing world, as part of a wider BioPhilia Educational Program to teach children about science and music.

The original app offered interactive modules for each song on Björk’s Biophilia album: games, animation and remixing technology arranged within a single mother-app.

«The most interest has come from students from low-income households and schools with underfunded art budgets , and the only way to bring the project to those people is to have biophilia reprogrammed for Android and Windows 8,» explained the Kickstarter project’s original pitch.

In recent days, new rewards had been added to the project to persuade people to pledge, including album artwork and app-still prints, as well as limited-edition gold and platinum discs.

Björk also published a handwritten note to potential backers. «This is an odd one for me to ask of you but it proved unbelievably complicated to reprogram Biophilia for Android & more,» she wrote.

«It will take 8 programmers 5 months. But I feel I cannot leave this project before this has been done since it seems to be the area where it can bloom most. We are already getting a regular school curriculum written out and so incredibly many have reached out to us so eager to adapt Biophilia’s musicology angle to their schools.»

The phrase «odd one for me to ask of you» may hint at one reason for the project’s failure: people may have wondered why Björk wasn’t funding the new app herself or with partners as she did the iOS version.

They may also have balked at the project’s £375k funding goal – not necessarily seeing it as too much, but more to do with confidence that the project would get funded.

However unfair – it was clear in this instance that Björk wasn’t trying to line her own pockets – there has been a backlash of sorts on Kickstarter against projects launched by people perceived to have their own funding reserves.

Veteran developer Peter Molyneux experienced these kinds of grumbles within the games industry, for example, with his Project Godus campaign, although that was successful in surpassing its £450k goal.

Some of the most successful Kickstarter projects, including Amanda Palmer, the Ouya games console and Pebble smart-watch have deliberately aimed low (low being $100k, mind) in order to show more momentum early on, and avoid people being put off by the fear that they’re backing a doomed project.

So what now? Björk hasn’t commented publicly yet on the cancelled Kickstarter, but it would be a shame if the Biophilia port itself was cancelled.

Its educational focus may well make it eligible for funding from alternative sources: European funds, perhaps, or non-governmental organisations. An alternative might be to approach Google or Microsoft to see if they’d be interested in funding an HTML5 version of the Biophilia app.

Björk Biophilia app now out for Android despite failed Kickstarter

Bjork’s Biophilia app has been ported from iOS to Android devices

Bjork’s Biophilia app has been ported from iOS to Android devices

Björk has released her Biophilia album-app for Android, two years after its release for Apple’s iPad.

The app costs £8.49 on the Google Play store, and like the iOS version contains 10 individual sections: one for each song on her Biophilia album, including mini-games, interactive art and music creation tools.

Björk is releasing the Android version as part of her Biophilia Educational Program, which uses the app as part of workshops about science and music for students in regions including South America, east Asia and Africa.

«It’s had a great run so far, but in order to reach more people, we decided it was important for the apps to be available for Android phone as well,» explains a blog post on Björk’s website. «Björk’s vision of the Biophilia app has always been for it to be available as widely as possible, and Android is an important factor for this.»

Björk had hoped to fund the development of the Android Biophilia app, as well as a Windows 8 version, through a crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter website. It launched in January 2013 seeking £375,000 from fans, but was closed 10 days in after only raising £15,370.

After that, Björk and creative partner Snibbe Studio found a partner, mobile tech firm Apportable, to port the iOS app to Android.

«They came up with a new way of converting apps to Android that costs a whole lot less and takes far less time than previously expected. So we withdrew the Kickstarter campaign and a few short months later, they’re telling us the apps are ready,» explains the blog post.

«Luckily for us, technology had developed so now it is possible to do this at a fraction of the cost.»

The Biophilia Educational Program began as a series of workshops for students in Iceland, before transferring to New York in 2012, as part of Björk’s residency at the New York Hall of Science venue.

They have since been held in Paris, Oslo, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Manchester, Los Angeles and San Francisco – the latter alongside Björk’s latest US tour.

«We set up the Biophilia Educational Program as a non-profit project with the aim of making the ideas from Biophilia available to teachers and children around the world,» explained the Kickstarter campaign page.

«In each city, the Biophilia Educational Program has worked with local school authorities to create lessons, complete with a core syllabus and curriculum topics. In dealing with these topics, it aims to bring together knowledge of nature and science, music and technology.»

The app’s Android release comes amid renewed interest within the music industry in delivering albums through mobile apps.

Lady Gaga announced earlier this month that her next album ARTPOP will have a companion app when it is released in November, promising «a musical and visual engineering system that combines art, fashion, and technology with a new interactive worldwide community».

Meanwhile, Jay-Z’s new album Magna Carta Holy Grail was given away for free to up to 1m owners of Samsung smartphones via an app this month, three days before its official release, as part of a deal struck with the handset maker.

Data-access permissions sought by that app, along with its feature getting fans to post messages to social networks in order to view the album’s lyrics, have proved controversial in the US, with privacy advocacy group the Electronic Privacy Information Centre calling for regulators to launch an investigation into the project.
