Wave - Harmonizing Technologies for Special Needs

Wave

Harmonizing Technologies for Special Needs

A project which started its way at the Dis-Co-Tech hackathon.
The hackathon was all about building music technologies for special needs.

Wave was developed by amazing team in order to help an 18 years old, blind pianist who also has several paralyzed fingers, to play more harmonies in real time.

The solution includes:
* Chord playing using one key and foot switch.
* Chord progression algorithm.
* Real time chords assigned into one key for both programming presets and live playing.
All using Max and MIDI technologies.

The hackathon included 4 projects which collaborated to bring the best possible solutions.
In addition to wave, I had the chance to advise another team, which was developing a guitar strumming and picking technology, for an one handed singer, in order to make the guitar more accessible for her.

Hopefully, these projects will help more musicians who will use them to express themselves better - both at home and on stage.

About

About

A full stack developer (BSC), maker, educator, lecturer, long distance runner and musician.

An awards winner who (either himself or projects he took part in) got into most major media in Israel.
In addition, my performances, lectures & projects are being hosted in conferences, fairs, exhibitions, festivals, events, venues and more.

Upcoming events: MuseNet, Geekcon, Go, MidburnDeco, MiniMakerFaire, Inspirations From Life Tour.

Passionate about music, technology, the connection between them and their effects on people.

Currently mainly working on:
* Vibez - a new musical experience for playing, learning & healing.
* Inspirations From Life - instrumental music album.
* Pitch with a switch - an electronic musical instrument.
* Space & Sound - music tech installation & lecture.

As a developer and maker, I won the 2015 Israel Chamber of Information Systems Analysts contest and 2016 MTF (Music Tech Fest) Berlin Hackathon and participated in hackathons: Dis-Co-Tech (music technologies for special needs), Midburn (games and technologies for the upcoming event), Global Game Jam (games) and Geeckon Pets (technologies for pets). I worked with startups and companies such as: Infibond(social network), Parola (social music network), AdExtent (re-targeting), Komodo (information security) and Rafael (defense systems).

Combining my interests in music & technology got me working on BlastU - POC of a musical game with a physical world and many of the described above projects. Also, I'm currently studying music technology at Bar Ilan University.

As an educator, I opened my own guitar teaching studio which combined a volunteering work with the community. Also served as educator, counselor, teacher and mentor to most ages & societies.

As a musician, I love playing, exploring, improvising, arranging and composing. Jammed with world class musicians, lead jam sessions, perform as guitar player and working on my album.

Mixing multidisciplinary methodologies, from different fields, gives me the ability to create new and creative solutions for the better world of tomorrow.
