As musicians, we share most of our work in places where people watch as well as listen. Producing visual work usually means video editors, motion graphics or VJ software - tools that are complicated, expensive, desktop oriented and never built with musicians in mind. So we built Kollider, a visual synthesizer for iPhone that responds to music in real time.
Like any instrument, Kollider responds the instant you turn a dial, with no prompts to type and nothing to wait for while you play.

Kollider listens through your mic and layers visuals over your camera, so the picture moves with whatever you sing or play.
Pick any clip from your camera roll and Kollider builds visuals from the clip’s soundtrack.
Import a song from the Files app, trim to your favorite section and choose from a deck of starter looks.
