Relaxing Melodies: Enjoy music

* Composed by blind musicians. Enjoy 10 original tunes for moments of peace. *
Relax in the dark
Are you tired of all the stress you’re feeling and all you’d like is some peace and quiet? Close your eyes and breathe out a sigh of relief as you use our app Relax in the dark. We’ve prepared original relaxation melodies in cooperation with visually impaired musicians and the local Radio endowment fund project‚ Firefly.
HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE THE APP?
Relax in the dark has a unique user interface designed by people with visual impairment. You won’t see anything on your screen except a little firefly flying around. The app’s main purpose is to bring together both sides of the spectrum and show that nothing is as black and white as it seems at first.
Let the voice of our firefly Rachel, a talented piano player, guide you through the wonders of the app and be your TalkBack.
Drag your fingers from the right side to the left to choose between melodies. Motioning up and down lets you access the menu and find out more about the song you’re currently listening to. By tapping the screen, you choose an item or stop the song. You can also try to find some hidden functions we’ve implemented!

Oh life-giving creator, you are bright as the Sun, you are great and powerful. The giver of beauty, to thee we pray. May you be the guide through our existence.
* Mystic Beauty: Rachel
Old nordic myths have spurred us on to create this composition. The interlude was created spontaneously during rehearsal.
* James‘ Blues: Jakub
A harmonica and relaxation? Why not! Most of us find firesides with music playing in the background relaxing. And Jakub’s piece will bring you this exact feeling of peace and quiet.
The app Relax in the dark is a Christmas gift from MasterAPP developers and visually impaired musicians.
