Much newer to music making, but quickly becoming established, is the Skoog from Skoogmusic (SN81, www.skoogmusic.com)...It means that people with all sorts of disabilities and none, can create authentic instrumental sounds and join in with music making.
In comparison to a lot of other music technology there's a much more intimate relationship between the way you physically interact with it as an object and the sounds you get out of it...
Most of our pupils are very visual learners and to focus in on just the sound was quite difficult but reviewing the video footage, this was a skill that did develop as the sessions built up.
‘I think there are many very attractive, inviting elements
to Skoog, especially the texture, and touch sensitivity which inspires fine tactual
manipulation.Its flexibility as
an open tool has much potential.’(Sense Scotland,
2010)
