mac·ro·cosm noun \ˈma-krə-ˌkä-zəm\
1: the great world : universe
2: a complex that is a large-scale reproduction of one of its constituents
in less vague terms: kosm is an abstract audio sequencer. Where the convention is to align musical events in perfect time slots and at a given pitch, kosm triggers audio via the concept of gravity and mass using particles.
kosm relies on environmental properties such as the device roll, pitch and yaw for sequencing. Moving and rotating your phone relative to the ground manipulates the environment of kosm.
Depending on the patience and creativity of the user, kosm's sond output can quickly evolve from creating gentle macrobiotic bleeps to emanating large dragging, grating noises.
Android Experiment & open source
Google has awarded kosm the official Android Experiment status in 2015.
As part of the requirements kosm's full source code has consequently been made available on GitHub.
Discontinued
Kosm has been available on Google Play for 12 years. Though receiving no new feature updates for the past years, the project remained in maintenance mode, receiving necessary security updates. As of Dec 15 2024, the app is no longer published on Google Play.
It remains available as an open source project.
