SongKit

Songkit is a kit full of sound loops. During the development of a song there are often different versions of a song, of phrases or single instruments. It’s hard to choose between three or five really cool bass variations. And it´s too bad that nobody will hear the song with a different bass track. With SongKit you can provide a whole lot of these variations. By touching elements, the listener can switch between loops and can build their own version with SongKit!
This clip shows an example - you can create 3,125 different versions.

Versions

During the creative process of songwriting and production, a song passes through various stages, starting with the initial idea to the studio or live version. The story, thoughts and feelings during this process can be told in the book. The clip gives you an example of how the different stages could be illustrated with pictures, words and sounds.
