Turn
A little over five years ago, I launched Turn, a web app which helps artists turn audio into videos they can share on social platforms. This is done by taking a provided image and audio file and generating a short video in which the image is cut into a circle and spins slowly while the music plays. My thinking at the time is that a rotating circle evokes the feeling of music playback, even when it is muted. When I originally launched Turn, the primary channel for social promotion was the Instagram feed so the app produced short, square videos. Well, a lot has changed since then, with duration limits being increased and vertical content becoming a key way we share music online. The time had come to pause freelance work for a moment and build the next iteration of Turn.
I’m happy to announce that work is now complete and the new version of Turn is live at www.turn.audio. The app has been completely rewritten from the ground up. In addition to many quality of life improvements around authentication, billing, speed, and accessibility, I have unlocked the two most requested features: longer durations and different export types. Pro users may now create videos up to 5 minutes in length and choose between square, landscape, and portrait export types so Turn videos may now be shared on stories, reels, timelines, and beyond. I have also started work on the next round of features. Disc speed anyone?
On the surface, Turn may seem like a novelty app but when you couple it with something as important as merch, it really proves its worth. If you have a mockup of a vinyl or CD you’re selling, I invite you to upload that image and an audio clip from the release to generate one of these videos. I think you’ll find that Turn’s nod to the physicality of music listening pairs nicely with the marketing of physical products.
