Bhrama
Play with light and sound.
Bhrama is an audiovisual sensory toy: thirteen living worlds of light and sound that you play with your fingers.
Touch anywhere and the light answers with a note. Every note sits on a musical scale, so nothing you play can sound wrong. There are no goals, no score and no timer: just colour and sound that respond to you, and settle back to calm when you rest.
How It Plays
Touch the Light
Tap to play a note: left is low, right is high. Slide to glide through the notes, hold to let them ring, and higher on the screen sounds brighter.
Up to Six Fingers
Play as many as six notes at once for chords. Every note is locked to a scale, so whatever you play sounds right.
Thirteen Worlds
From swirling particle fields and northern lights to glowing jellyfish, a fractal garden and an endless Julia set, each world moves on its own and answers your touch in its own way.
An Instrument for Every World
Glass pads and a wordless choir, singing bowls, handpan, harp and soft bells. Each world plays quietly by itself when left alone.
The Orrery
Choose a world by turning the Orrery, a luminous wheel of thirteen worlds. Spin it, let it settle, watch the light run to its heart, then tap the centre to step inside.
Gentle by Design
No goals and nothing to get wrong. Activity rises as you play and settles back to calm when you rest. Works with headphones or speakers.
Thirteen Worlds
Living Field
Gather drifting light into swirling vortices.
Orbits
A little solar system whose planets chime as they pass the star; your finger pulls them into orbit.
Ribbon
Catch a wide, twisting band of light and loop it through the dark.
Aurora
Part curtains of northern light to a wordless choir.
Veil
Pull smoke-silk ribbons through the dark, with a breathy flute.
Particle Wave
Raise waves through a shimmering sheet of light.
Resonance
Drop notes into a glassy pool and watch the rings cross.
Neon Tunnel
Steer a flight through rings of neon.
Mandala
Turn a neon mandala and change its symmetry.
Bioluminescence
Wake a bloom of glowing jellyfish; their light passes from one to the next.
Fractal Garden
Plant trees of light that grow, sway and blossom among fireflies.
Lucid
Stir slow folds of liquid colour.
Julia
Bend an endless fractal with your fingertips.
