N, the application that Jorge Drexler has presented today in collaboration with Samsung can be many things. It can be a very fun game, a music social app or a new song concept. And it is that the Uruguayan has not presented an album or a single, withoutor an application that allows you to create millions of different songs and share them,with your mobile or tablet , a simple interface and many possibilities.
The invention is called N, and can be downloaded through the Samsung app store for Android, Samsung Apps. It is available for all brand devices with a screen larger than four inches and is, in principle, free Today we seen the first part, N1, which allows us to create a song modulated to our liking the lyrics. Soon N2 and N3 will arrive, in which we can also play with the music.
With N1 the process is simple. Iwe start the app and the music starts playing. As the song plays, circles with verses appear. These can be rotated to choose the verse we want to hear, all created and sung by Jorge Drexler. The song is about two strangers meeting in a hotel room, but what ends up happening that night is up to us. The total number of different songs you can get is one of those numbers so enormous that they are beyond our comprehension, although the artist has summed it up in a poetic way as "more grains of sand than in the whole earth or more stars than in the whole universe".
With N2, which will arrive in the next few days, the process will be a bit more complex. In this case we will find the voice by Drexler, accompanied by the Euskadi Symphony Orchestra. The song is called "drift tide" and it has a lot to do with traveling. To listen to it in all its splendor, you will have to move, because in principle we will only have some of the instruments. Every time we travel 500 meters and start the application we will "unlock" a new group of instruments,that we can add to the song to make it more complete.
Of course, as with N1, we can choose which instruments play each time, always achieving a different theme. From the third song, N3 or "tenth to tenth" we know almost nothing. The Uruguayan has preferred to keep the mystery about what it is about and how the interactive application will work.
The creators wanted to highlight that it is the first time that something similar has been created and that it can open a door to a new music industry. And after all, not all of the application is free. Creating and listening to songs is free of charge, but if we want to show off our creation we have to take the card for a walk.Recording and downloading our version of any song costs one euro.
The application is available from today in the Samsung application store (Samsung apps), as well as for IOS devices in the Apple App Store.
