The concept
I wanted to create a tool for instant inspiration. A way to embrace randomness, and jolt ourselves out of our normal process and routines. The original idea was every time you hit a key, a different instrument would play, but you can also control how random it will be! I recorded over 40 instruments myself, in my home studio.
