Run App

What is This?

draw some wavey lines and turn them into music

My name's Peter, I'm a Mathematics and Computer science undergrad at Bristol university, and I have made this app for my final individual project. The idea is to provide a novel interface for music writing, lowering the barrier to entry so that users without musical knowledge or access to specialist software and equipment can explore and create something cool!

Participant Information

thank you for participating in my user study :)

Your Task:

• For 5 days I ask you to have a go using the app for around 10-20 minutes. Of course, if you're enjoying yourself, you may use it as much as you like. You don't need to set aside a time or place to do it, you can use it whenever inspiration strikes!
• Note down any thoughts you have regarding your experience.
• I provide a list of prompts below as a jump off point, so that you engage with the app in different ways.
• Have fun!

Your Prompts:

1. Familiarise yourself with the app. Make something that captures your mood.
2. Make a song whilst outside or travelling.
3. Take a picture of something weird for your sequence! Suggestions: scattered beans, piece of string, an interesting rug.
4. Attempt to recreate a song that you like.
5. Use the app however you like to make something cool.
