Bjrk: Solstice for iOS

This new holiday version of Bjrk's Solstice app from Biophilia is based on a poem celebrating the Christmas season by poet / author Sjon, comparing the solar system to a Christmas tree.At the center of the app is a sun from which the user pulls rays of light to form a circular harp of strings plucked by colorful orbiting planets; tilt the device and the orbital planes turn into the branches of a three-dimensional Christmas tree, the stars becoming snowflakes. In Solstice, Bjrk plays the Solstice song with a specially commissioned pendulum-harp which embodies the idea of gravity that was central to the songs creation.Solstice was developed with Max Weisel, creator of the bestselling Soundrop App, and Bjrk's longtime design collaborators M/M (Paris).
