BRONZE

BRONZE is a new way for music to exist, in which the recorded material is transfigured generating a unique version on each listening.

The first piece of music available in Bronze will be Flesh Freeze by Gwilym Gold.

For a limited period it will be available as a free download for Mac desktop. It will be available soon on iPod Touch, Windows, iPhone and iPad. There will be more music in Bronze coming soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Bronze Do?
Bronze is a non-interactive music format, that transforms every aspect of a song, to create a unique version on each listen.
Why would I want to hear a different version on each listen?
Bronze is not intended to replace people's current listening formats such as MP3's or CD's. It is intended to begin a new creative process where the composition and production of a musical piece no longer requires the final work to exist in a static form.
How do I use it?
Bronze is as simple to use as a CD or MP3, just download the application to your device and press play. The bar at the bottom controls the volume, and the centre logo takes you to an information page. Click the logo at the top of the information page to return back to the player.
How is Bronze different to an MP3 or CD?
Bronze is the first releasable format that alters the musical components of a song on each listen.
Can I put my existing CDs and MP3s into bronze?
No. More music will be available in Bronze Format soon.
Is Bronze the software or a song?
Bronze is the software format which allows the song to exist in a non static form. Gwilym Gold is the first artist to use Bronze to release his music.
Why can't I play it in an MP3 player or on a CD player?
In order for a song to exist in a non-static form it has to be manipulated using software, software cannot run on CD players.
Why are songs larger to download than MP3's?
Two reasons, they are higher quality, and the process that Bronze uses requires more audio files than a conventional format.
If I like one version can I listen to it again?
No. It was a creative decision for the first release that the song would exist in a similar way to a live performance, and happen only once. Future Bronze releases may allow you to capture different versions.
Where is the original version of the song?
There is no original version of the song, the music was always created with the intention of it existing in a non-static form, so a conventional arrangement does not exist.
How different is each version of the same song?
The music is changed throughout the song in both subtle and very noticeable ways, each playback of the song is completely unique.
How good is the audio quality of Bronze?
Bronze is the same quality as CD. It is full resolution on both desktop and mobile platforms.
Why does Bronze not work on Android or PC?
We are working on this. Support for Android and PC will be completed as soon as possible. Please join the mailing list for future releases and updates.
Why does Bronze not run on older computers and mobile devices?
Bronze uses very recent advances in both computer and software technology to enable unique playback. Older operating systems and processors cannot support this.

Why does the music fade out after 1 minute on my iPod or iPhone?
The first Bronze mobile app release requires that you set auto-lock on your iPod/iPhone to '5 Minutes' or 'Never'. To do this, go to the 'General' section of your 'Settings' page and set 'Auto-Lock' to 'Never' or '5 Minutes'.
Why does it not launch on my computer / mobile device?
Please check the minimum hardware and software requirements here
The play and volume controls have disappeared, what should I do?
Simply touch the screen or move the mouse and they will return.
Why is the sound clicking / jumping?
Bronze should run smoothly and seamlessly on all devices at all times. If it does not, try quitting Bronze, then quitting any other applications that are running in the background. Then relaunch Bronze. If you still experience issues please restart your device.
The music plays back at the wrong speed / pitch on my Mac. How can I change it?
The computer's audio settings are running at the wrong sample rate. Please go to Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. Select the output device you're listening through under 'properties for:'. Then select '44.100.0 Hz' under the 'Format' dropdown menu. Quit and restart FleshFreeze, and it will playback at the correct speed.
I still can't get it working. What should I do?
