Chris Watson, a founding member of electronic legends Cabaret Voltaire and sound recordist, is launching a mobile app.

Chris has worked in collaboration with arts collective the Nimbus Group to develop the app for IOS and Android.

Alongside a number of sound recordings, the app will also contain four sonic games - according to the Wire, these games include a collection of sounds for insomniacs and one sound which will only unlock once you are travelling at the same speed as a diving peregrine falcon (300km/h).

Nimbus will be available for free download from the Nimbus Group website from 10 September 2014 as part of the Brighton Digital Festival.
