Aether & Bellweathered

Two ambient instruments for iPhone. One listens to the radio signals around you; the other listens to the sky. Together, nearby, they play as a duo.

Ambit

All four instruments in one app: the radio room, the weather, your phone's own traffic and the satellites overhead, mixed with a joystick and playing in the background.

Aether

Turns the Bluetooth signals in the room into slowly drifting, Eno-style ambient music. Move, and the music moves with you.

Bellweathered

Plays the weather, the sun and the moon where you are as a drone, wind, rain and bells.

Tips

No sound? Tap Listen (Aether) or Begin (Bellweathered), and check the ring/silent switch and volume.
Aether hears nothing? Allow Bluetooth in Settings › Aether. It listens only while the app is open.
Bellweathered shows a simulated sky? It couldn't reach the weather service or your location; it switches to live weather when it can.
Duo not connecting? Open both apps on two iPhones near each other, allow Local Network when asked, and check Settings › Duo in each.
