Quiet, living music in a night forest that answers your playing.
Music with your hands in the air
Three worlds. All you need is a browser and a camera.
The first open version of the instrument: modes, sounds and effects, played with both hands.
A musical installation for museums, galleries and events: your camera and projector.
What Handsong is
A musical instrument you play with your hands in the air, in front of an ordinary camera. Nothing to buy, nothing to install, no years of practice: open the link, raise your hand — and there is music.
- Hands instead of an instrument. Bring your thumb to another finger and a note sounds. Raise your hand for a higher note.
- Always in tune. The notes are chosen so you can't play a wrong one: anyone can play.
- Living music, not a track. The sound grows from your movements and never repeats.
- Worlds that answer. Light, particles and space respond to every note.
- Opens right in your browser. Nothing to download — works in Chrome and Safari on a laptop or a phone, and you can add it to your Home Screen.
- Private. The camera image is processed only on your device.
