Field notes
The page describes an iPhone app that listens for rainfall, maps drops to notes, and lets the user alter harmony or switch among six ensembles. It says detection and sound analysis run locally; location is optional and used to check nearby rain through Apple Weather. For dry days, it describes six simulated rain scenes and a finger-tap mode, while saved études can be re-orchestrated or exported as vertical Stories videos. The App Store release is still presented as forthcoming.
