Hey everyone,
My friends and I love music, but we realized something incredibly frustrating: starting out is lonely, and getting stuck sucks.
A while back, we all bought guitars and keyboards out of pure inspiration. Before we knew it, the excitement was crushed by tedious drills and finger pain. Those instruments are now just gathering dust in our corners. We also tried those "beginner-friendly" smart instrument with music apps, but staring at a phone screen syncing loops felt empty and boring. It didn't give us the joy of actually making music.
We kept asking ourselves: Why can't playing music be as simple, screen-free, and socially fun as teaming up for a multiplayer video game with friends? Why does it always have to be a solo grind?
Since we couldn't find anything out there that solved this, we decided to try building a prototype ourselves—a brand-new, easy-to-learn music toy. Our goals are simple: zero-friction onboarding and real human connection.
We are still in the early stages, and we are absolutely not selling anything. We just want to see if other people feel this exact same frustration, and we need your input to shape it. You don't need to be a musician at all. If you've ever wanted to express yourself through sound but had no idea where to start, we want to hear from you.
We made a quick 2-3 minute questionnaire here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0JKB48LhaywqBH09GIFGPtjSgdOPVrH3I-FWH2VcNopotfw/viewform?usp=header
If you join our early co-creation cohort, you’ll get:
- Early playtesting access to our prototype
- Permanent beta tester status
If this project helps even just a few people who gave up on music find that joy again, we’d be incredibly happy. Feel free to ask any questions or just PM me.
Thanks for reading!
