New

 Instruments

When we’re not limited by physics, new ways of interacting with sound are born.

Simulation

The sound is created based on the given physical attributes of the instrument, together with an interaction.

 Creation

People can create
and share their new
instruments.

Edit

Everything is digital, people have a level of control over sound that had never been seen. However now, technology created a barrier for those who only want to make music, moving squares on a screen is no the most intuitive way of doing it.

Conclusion

Technology stands in
between people and
music
creation
and is an obstacle
for musical innovation.

...So, what's next?

Immersion

Immersive visualization and
interactions
can drastically
enhance and naturalize the
music creation process.

ProblemIcon-14.png

Instrument Placement

The unintuitive use of effects on instruments make their placement time consuming.

the

Amateur

The users are people who
know what they want at the
most basic level. Using the
tools to bring their idea to life.

the

Conductor

Artificial Intelligence

Augmenting

Using A.I. to fill in where information is lacking, being it automatic playing, instrument translation or mixing and mastering.

Natural

Movement

Immersive interfaces enable the use of volumetric movements, making interactions more natural than it would otherwise be.
