Background & Additional Resources

Imager is an instrument for making visual art alongside music.

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

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

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