Fused Music Studio
Drawing on 25+ years of experience in music education, commercial music, research and engineering, we work directly with disabled musicians to configure accessible setups to enable access to music making and teach music using accessible equipment. This includes using eyegaze-controlled instruments, adapted music software, switch-based hardware customisation and custom software design. We also train others to use accessible technology and work with schools, therapists, families to ensure that learning about accessible music making is also accessible to facilitators. Our mission is to tailor bespoke setups for the individual so that everyone can practise, create, perform, and enjoy music.
