A lucky dip for
your ears

A new pack of sounds is released each week, and automatically downloaded to your device. Packs are a curated mix of melodic, rhythmic and effect sounds, so you'll never be short on inspiration. Each pack is beautifully presented in an article on the blog, so you can read up on the origins and story behind the sounds.

While other music apps present you with a static set of sounds - perhaps a drumkit or a range of synths - Icaro has a range of melodic and rhythmic sounds that will surprise and delight you. Some upcoming packs include:

• a sonic study and history of the Hermes Baby typewriter
• the sounds of Apple's failed Newton series of PDAs
• recordings of a blacksmith's anvil and forge

Icaro is built with love in Tasmania, the island state that brought you “the world's most far-out museum”, the best painting app for iOS, the paper notepad and Errol Flynn.
