SATURNINE is an immersive, interactive album by electronic artist Symbion Project. This meditative music-VR experience is powered by (m)ORPH - an abstract sonic environment that lets you create real-time mixes of songs.
Grab the floating sound-objects, called Orphs, and create your own lush spatial audio soundscapes where elements from the song (drums, vocals, strings, synths) sound like they are all around you. If you grab an Orph and bring it close to you it gets louder; Push it away from you and it gets quieter. This lets you interact with the songs in incredibly immersive and interactive ways that are far more powerful than just listening to the music passively.
Saturnine features all the songs on the 11th album by Symbion Project with vocals by Markus Junnikkala. Imagery throughout Saturnine VR by photographer Cole Caswell. Saturnine is available for download and streaming via symbionproject.bandcamp.com ~ thanks for your support!

I don’t say this lightly—I love it! It’s a completely new way to experience music, boiled down to everything that works intuitively and beautifully.
If you're here to be surprised by what your headset can do then I highly recommend this beautiful artwork, check out Saturnine too!
Very 'particle-y'. Nice overall, but could be more 'in your face'.
Amazing universe of sound and space! Our family is really enjoying this immersive soundscape. Highly recommended, gets better every time we return to saturnine. The music is amazing, quality is exceptional and can’t wait for more from this developer. Amazing!
Nice escape into the music with fun interactions. First VR music experience in a a thumbs up from me
I’m a big fan of Symbion Project’s music, and this interactive experience of their new album lets me explore the layers of sounds in each song to to tease apart the wizardry they use in their production. The music itself is fantastic, and I especially dig the guest vocalists and the treatments SP gives to their voices. I wish I could experience all music in this sort of interactively way!
