Massive Attack have launched “sensory music player” Fantom

Massive Attack have launched a new “sensory music player” called Fantom, which showcases a brand new EP of the same name. They’re missing a trick by not naming it Teardrapp, but never mind eh? Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja helped to develop the app, and according to the Bristolian trip-hoppers, it “remixes and reforms songs uniquely using a variety of environmental variables including location, movement, time of day, heartbeat and the integral moving image camera.” Pretty straightforward, then. Basically, if you’ve ever had a profound longing to remix songs from Massive Attack’s new EP ‘Fathom’ using your own heartbeat, there is quite literally ‘an app for that now’. What a time to be alive in the age of gadgets. Fathom is available for free in the iTunes App Store. Head there to listen to the new ‘Fathom’ EP.
