Imager—the iPad app draft

“The eyes are a lot hungrier than the ears.”
Laurie Anderson Brian Eno David Bowie
You play abstract images like musicians play abstract sounds.

An instrument for making visual art alongside music, Imager is an open source iPad app.

Unlike other 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.
