who?
> artists who enjoy the feedback of modular systems but wish for a more encapsulating experience
why?
> to experiment with and question lines drawn between an individual and their environment through
creating newly immersive ways to experience sound
what?
> a eurorack case with a unique method of interaction and expression, utilizing piezo transducers and enclosed speakers to create a standalone instrument
how?
> by playing with the affordances involved in the act of musicking with a modular setup to thoughtfully blur the line between the instrument and it’s surroundings

musicking: musicking is a term coined by musicologist Christopher Small that refers to any activity involving or related to music performance, including performing, listening, rehearsing, or composing. It emphasizes music as a participatory process rather than just a product.
immersion: the state of being overhelmed or deeply absorbed; deep engagedness.
sense: the faculties of sensation as means of providing physical gratification and pleasure.
experience: the apprehension of an object, thought, or emotion through the senses or mind.
synthesis: the process of generating and manipulating sound using electronic devices, particularly synthesizers, which create audio signals through various methods such as subtractive, additive, and frequency modulation synthesis. This allows for the production of a wide range of sounds, from emulating traditional instruments to creating entirely new audio experiences.
