What we do
We make electronic musical instruments that open new creative possibilities to artists. Sonic quality, humane design and longevity (will you use this in ten years?) are important to us. Our tools reward long-lasting engagement and reflect our commitment to our craft. 🌿 SINCE 2008
The tree
The Pacific Madrona, Arbutus menziesii, is a beautiful evergreen with distinctive reddish-brown peeling bark. It grows in the Pacific Northwest and down along the coast into California. Madronas have tenacious roots that can dig as deep as bedrock for water, so they often locate themselves on arid bluffs where other trees can't grow.
