IFAH - Instruments for composing and experiencing sound as a space

by•
IFAH is a new family of instruments built around a simple idea: sound can be composed as an environment. Create, preserve and replay reproducible acoustic fields for listening, practice, performance and research. IFAH combines offline-first instruments, sealed acoustic experiences and new interfaces for interacting with sound from carefully composed fields to playing music with your hands.

IFAH started with a question: what happens if we stop treating sound only as content, songs, tracks, files and start treating it as an environment we can deliberately compose? As a composer, I became increasingly interested in what exists between music, acoustics, perception and the spaces we inhabit. But most tools are designed either to produce music or to measure sound. I wanted an instrument for the territory in between: something you can experience first, compose with, preserve, reproduce and eventually examine. That became IFAH. We are starting with software instruments and reproducible acoustic experiences, but the larger ambition is to explore a new relationship with sound across creation, practice, performance, learning and research. This launch is the beginning of that exploration. I’d love to hear what you experience, what you question, and where you think this could go.

Good luck on the launch day!
