Vienna, Austria – Independent developer Joerg Piringer today is pleased to announce his new playful sound app “konsonant” for iPhone and iPad. The app features four unique interactive sound toys that offer a fascinating insight in human language. “konsonant” enables the user to play with letters and sounds, build acoustic machines, control morphing voice clouds and experiment with the alphabet.

Containing a suite of original music tracks (downloadable for free as mp3s) as well as interactive musical artifacts, the app is in fact a music album with conventional music as well as sound toys for mobile technology.
