SimpleTones is an interactive sound system that enables non-musicians to engage in collaborative acts of music making. The aim of SimpleTones is to make collaborative musical experiences more approachable and accessible for a wide range of users of different levels of musical expertise. This allows them to actively participate in the social aspects of collective musical improvisation, something usually confined to trained performers. Players can participate with ease and in real time by operating physical sound controllers in tandem. By using play as a catalyst and setting novices free from the requirement of previous musical experience, participants are able to focus on the collaborative aspects of performance, such as synchronizing movements, discovering the system's functionality together and making collective decisions.
