As a person who has been interested in music for a very long time, having played the piano, saxophone, and bassoon in school, I was never satisfied with the way music theory was taught.  The focus was always on notation and definitions rather than understanding of the underlying structure.  Over the course of the past 3 years, I have been creating and refining a new system of music which utilizes geometry to explain the harmonic relationships within music and serve as a tool for composition.  Ultimately, I was able to leverage recent advancements in technology to create a suite of tools which can make this system both accessible and capable.

For this system, I have created musical analysis software, a video game, and a handheld digital musical instrument.  Once the system is mature enough I plan to release these products along with courses which guide users on how the system works.

Making the instrument required extensive cross domain knowledge including embedded software, circuitry design, mechanical, and manufacturing knowledge. Since I was creating through the lens of creating a consumer product, It forced me to think about scalability.  Ultimately I was able to get the per unit cost down to under $25 and the assembly time down to just 15 seconds making it actually viable at scale.
