variant:SONiC is an innovative audiovisual artwork that provides a unique and ever-changing experience through a blend of user input and built-in randomness. Created by Interval Studios Inc, this app was commissioned for the 2015 SONiC Festival and features a musical composition crafted from individual notes played by various renowned artists. By tapping the screen, users can trigger fragments of the musical composition and corresponding visual elements, allowing for interactive exploration of generative art.

Users can engage with variant:SONiC by tapping the screen, dragging to control visuals, and triggering up to 10 sounds simultaneously. Holding down a finger loops a sound, enabling the creation of intricate sound and visual combinations. The app also offers insights into the audio engine and allows for the customization of settings, along with the option to capture screenshots of the visuals for later viewing.
