App developed by EO Nashville member company gets attention in Times Square & Vegas

EO member Hannah Paramore’s digital agency Paramore has developed an exciting new iPhone app that’s gained national attention on PR Newswire marquees in Times Square and the Vegas Strip.

AstroCantus is an iPhone app that creates an original piece of music as stars cross the meridian over your head.  When stars cross your meridian, this App will play a tone on a scale from one of the available sound sets based on the magnitude, or brightness, of the star.  The result? A musical piece unique to your location and the time of year.

Paramore developed AstroCantus for a client, Davidson Dean LLC, a company that promotes interesting and unique ways to educate people about science and art. Learn more about the app here, or download it from the app store.
