pocket scíon is a portable device that captures biofeedback data sourced from contact with living organisms. this data is used by an onboard sound engine to generate evolving soundscapes, a range of midi messages and biofeedback data which is made accessible via the accompanying desktop application.
anyone can create, shape and enjoy music with pocket scíon, regardless of existing musical experience. despite its stand-alone, plug-and-play interface, experienced or adventurous users can use the midi and osc output capabilities to integrate pocket scíon into their studios, installations and audio-visual
projects.
pocket scíon includes instruments created exclusively for the device, made in collaboration with tarun nayar (modern biology), an ecologist, musician and prolific user of our eurorack format scíon module.
