Patatap by Jono Brandel | San Franciso (USA)

Patatap is a simple yet amusing interactive instrument that builds compositions (animations and melodies together) with your computer keyboard or tablet device. Co-created by San Francisco based Jono Brandel, the instrument relies on a clever combination of graphic design and computer programming.

Brandel co-created the project with music composers Lullatone, the melody design unit of Shawn James Seymour and Yoshimi Seymour who are based in Nagoya, Japan. The duo devised compelling sounds to accompany the animations that feature a colour palette unique to the sounds. The sounds encourages users to tap away in the most melodic manner possible, similar to playing a keyboard or drum pads.
