Grimes and Endel launch their AI-powered focus/relax app on Android
Previously released on iOS, technology company Endel, in partnership with Canadian musician and visual artist Grimes, have brought their relaxing app to Android.
AI Lullaby is a project from Endel and Grimes that uses factors (if you grant the app permission) such as your location, the weather and natural light exposure, to generate soundscapes that are easy for your body to absorb, using artificial intelligence. The app combines these personalized sounds with Grimes’ music and vocals, as well as sound masking to bury harsh elements, to help children and adults focus, relax and fall asleep. Initially launched on iOS for a limited time in October, the app has since disappeared from the App Store. The app is now available on the Google Play Store until 23rd March.
AI Lullaby was launched after Grimes was searching for sounds to send her baby X Æ A-Xii Musk to sleep.
When you have a baby, you’re always using white noise machines. It’s much easier to get them to sleep if you train them on some kind of audio situation. And so I was just like, could this be more artistic?
Grimes told The New York Times
We’ve seen various other artists partner with soothing apps such as Calm and Headspace.
