Accessibility

Fused Music Studio

Drawing on 25+ years of experience in music education, commercial music, research and engineering, we configure accessible setups to enable access to all for music making. We create interfaces and artefacts and non-proprietary solutions, explore neurofeedback and music, employ neurological music therapy techniques, and can teach music using accessible equipment. We can work very simply with you to configure your existing equipment or make suggestions on how you can make music using accessible music technology. We use eyegaze-controlled instruments, adapted music software, switch-based hardware customisation and custom software design. We offer support and training to use accessible technology for all sectors, and can also offer advice and point you in the direction of other facilitators, software developers and providers in this space!
