zefiro

The Artinoise ‘zefiro’ is a portable device that will transform a smartphone from a communication device into a musical instrument in mere moments! Our vision is to empower creative activities that match technology, art and physical control. Zefiro’s motto is ‘STOP SCROLLING, START CREATING !’.
The device works by being plugged into the USB-C port on a smartphone where it will go to work with a free downloadable app providing users with the ability to play it like a wind instrument! The app offers access to 32 different sound options that will enable players to emulate a range of instruments and modes of playing! From the classic Ocarina and Flute-like to a Melodica keyboard! You can play with a backing track, or playing with you friend’s traditional instruments like guitars and piano.
Zefiro is a simple yet exciting and powerful tool to stimulate music creation and tons of fun!

When it comes to most games, you end up simply following the creator’s program, and it feels more like being played than actually playing.
In contrast, zefiro is unique because it becomes the player’s own instrument, allowing them to freely enjoy creating music. The possibilities expand even further when two people play together or compose music collaboratively.
Rather than just operating within a fixed system, this game shines through its creativity and freedom.
