We made the music and sound effects for an amazing new iPad app called Interactive Alphabet.
It is so much fun. Niko loves it!
It is available on the App Store here.

And, here are the songs we made for it – have a listen:

And, as a bonus, we made them into iPhone ringtones, too!

Lullatone – Interactive Alphabet Ringtones

see you,
Shawn & Yoshimi

We made a FREE APP for the iPhone.
You can make your own lullatone song.

If you have time, please rate it or make a comment on iTunes.
We’d be super happy to see what everyone thinks!

Create your own minimalist melodies with this easy and enchanting app.
Based on Lullatone’s album “Little Songs About Raindrops,” Dropophone allows you to make songs that sound like drips and drops falling on a tiny orchestra of instruments.
Pressing the multi-colored raindrops triggers notes that loop every six seconds.
Combine different colored drops and notes to compose your own rainy-day melodic backdrops. A metronome is also included to help you keep time.
It is super simple. Simple is magic!

“Let Lullatone send you to sleep with their newest collection of lullabies. Originally composed for their newborn son, this set of merry-go-round melodies is the perfect bedtime background music for babies and adults alike. Each track is specially composed to loop seamlessly using the “repeat one” function on your CD or mp3 player, allowing unlimited long listening. Single melodies can also be enjoyed seamlessly for hours at a time as you drift to dreams, letting the songs spin in circles. And the artwork also uses a special die cut cover to allow the music’s disc to spin too! The production on the album features a high level of sound science to ensure ultimate effectiveness in snooze induction. Underwater recordings, heartbeats as drumbeats and tape hiss as ambient white noise are just the beginning of the shuteye science the duo employed to create their most careful concept album to date.”
