About

Intimacy and understanding through music making

Synchrony is a therapeutic music platform that helps parents and children with autism develop intimacy and understanding through improvised music play. Designed to sound harmonious regardless of musical ability, it facilitates a mutually enjoyable music making process. Parent and child can communicate nonverbally through music creation and engage in interpersonal play while working towards therapeutic goals. Synchrony’s soft silicone skin responds to the user’s touch by producing volume and resonance according to the pressure and duration of contact.
