About

Creative technologist in digital media since 1994. I've designed interactive TV since 1999 and co-founded Stevie, a social TV service that launched at TechCrunch Disrupt New York and won the MIPCube Lab innovation contest at MIPTV in Cannes. Since 2016 I've lived in the south of Portugal, where I run Head Arcade: games and teachers you play with your body, your voice or a real instrument. Recorder Hero and Potato Flute are free music teachers in the browser that listen as you play and see where your fingers are, showing on your own hands how to fix the fingering. My goal: children's first steps in music, playful and free at the core.

What should a recorder teacher in the browser do next?

Tomorrow Recorder Hero launches here.
It's a free recorder teacher that listens as you play: it hears each note, shows which holes to cover (on your own fingers, with the camera), and goes one note at a time, from the first note to real songs.

The launch is on Hypership day, so we'll be shipping what you ask for during the day. If you teach music, have a child learning the recorder, or played one at school yourself: what would you want it to do? A song, a lesson, a setting, something that confused you? Tell us here or on the launch, and we'll try to ship it the same day.
