The Collaborator is the first place winning project for the Synth UX 2024 Hackathon. An annual global design challenge, featuring some of the best music technology university programs. The Collaborator is a response to the “Virtual Human Connection” prompt for the Synth UX 2024 Hackathon. All completed in just 4 days by me, Julian Ferraro, Josh Thies, Nik Madhu, and Ana Mahadevan.
This abstract collaborative instrument allows 4 people of any level of musical experience to jam together, bringing us closer to the sounds and people we love.
