The Imager iPad app

Play abstract images as musicians play abstract sounds.

Imager is an instrument for making visual art alongside music.

Distinctive among graphics apps, it is rooted in musical concepts and music synthesizer design.

It’s been designed as a performance-worthy instrument for live and improvisational settings.

It is powered by three centuries of research by inventors, artists, and musicians.
