Hi everyone,

I’m a bansuri player and musician, and over the past months I’ve been building an Android app called Tanpura Atmosphere.

It started because I wanted something a little more inspiring than the usual tanpura app — not only a drone, but an environment I could actually enjoy improvising and practising with.

Alongside the tanpura, the app includes things like atmospheric drone layers, tabla, swarmandal, nature ambience, advanced recording features with reverb, and other tools for practice and improvisation.

The free version already has quite a lot in it, and I’d genuinely love for musicians here to try it and tell me what works, what doesn’t, and what you would want from an app like this.

You can find Tanpura Atmosphere on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tanpuraatmosphere.app&hl=en

If you try it, feel free to send feedback, bug reports, ideas, criticism, etc. to:

resnick.aviv@gmail.com (or using the feedback button in the app)

I’m also interested in collaborating with musicians.

If you enjoy the app but can’t/don’t want to pay for Pro, here’s one way to get a lifetime Pro licence:

Make a video of yourself genuinely playing/practising with Tanpura Atmosphere, clearly mention “Tanpura Atmosphere” on screen and in the description, and if the video reaches 1,000 views, send me the link and I’ll give you lifetime Pro.

It doesn’t need to be an advertisement — I’d actually much rather see real music being made with it.

I’m still actively improving the app, so feedback from people who actually practise Indian classical music is particularly valuable.

Thanks, and I’d be curious to hear what you think.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a small group of Android users to help test a new music app I’ve been developing called Tanpura Atmosphere.

The app is built mainly for Indian classical, but is perfect for anyone who works with drone soundscapes.

It includes:

• Tanpura drone with pitch, tone, micro-tuning, and layer controls
• Tabla engine with multiple taals, density, groove, and expressive timing
• Manjeera that follows the structure of the taal
• Swarmandal and wind chime textures
• Nature ambiences
• Recording tools with reverb, delay, and EQ
• Performance tools for smooth musical starts/stops
• A timeline-based Studio Mode for layering recordings, audio, and video

The app is currently in closed testing on Google Play, and I need Android testers who can install it and keep it on their device during the testing period.

I’m mainly looking for people who are genuinely interested in this kind of app and can give honest feedback about the sound, usability, bugs, and overall feeling.

As a thank-you, selected testers will receive lifetime Pro access to the app.

Requirements:

• Android phone
• Google account email for the Play Store test invitation
• Willingness to test the app during the closed testing period
• you are a student/teacher of indian classical music
• good english so you can write feedback

If youre interested- Fill out this form. I will choose 10-20 people for the test.
