Overview



A web-based tool uses nodes, connections and a keyboard to explore intuitive, playful music-making.



## Work and viewing



Drag nodes to move and connect them, play the keyboard or load an example. This original 2019 NYU IDM thesis build requires user-enabled audio; some features use a camera and MIDI devices.
