FREE-JAY

This project presents an interactive music instrument designed to enable independent music creation experience for children with various abilities. The instrument allows children to manipulate parallel audio tracks, creating a vast variety of musical beats - thereby motivating an ongoing interaction where complex compositions can be created. Mobile and easily adaptable, the instrument enables music teachers to engage children in musicking, as well as developing their upper limb function. The interface is made of circular array of large switches, controlling 9 parallel audio channels.
