SLIDE turns sound into colour.
Listen to music and see what’s happening. Play an instrument and watch notes appear as colour. Touch the screen and explore the relationship between colour, pitch, harmony and melody.
At the heart of SLIDE is a simple colour wheel that maps the twelve notes scale around a continuous spectrum. As music plays, the wheel responds in real time, revealing notes, chords, melodies and patterns as they happen.
There’s no need to know music theory. SLIDE is designed to be understood by looking, listening and playing.
HEAR
Use your device’s microphone and SLIDE listens with you. Play music through a speaker, sing, play an instrument or explore the sounds around you.
SEE
Notes become colour. Pitch, register and intensity become visible, creating a live visual map of the music you’re hearing.
PLAY
Use SLIDE as an instrument. Explore notes using the colour wheel, keyboard or fretboard, play along with music, discover harmonies and see how musical patterns fit together.
FOR MUSICIANS
Use SLIDE while practising, composing or playing with others. Explore melodies and chords visually, connect what you hear with what you play, or use MIDI alongside your existing music setup.
FOR LISTENING
Put on a favourite piece of music and simply watch. SLIDE offers another way into music — from a single voice or instrument to a full recording.
FOR LEARNING
SLIDE connects sound, colour, touch and traditional musical ideas in one place. Explore the relationships between notes without having to begin with notation or terminology.
FOR VISUALS
Connect your device to a display or projector and music can become a live visual performance. Every result is generated by the sound happening in the moment.
FOR ACCESSIBILITY
SLIDE can provide an additional visual representation of sound and music for people who are deaf or have hearing loss, connecting changes in pitch and musical structure with colour and movement.
Music isn’t just something to hear.
Hear it. See it. Play it.
SLIDE
colour. sound.
