Transform Colors into Melodies With Specdrums
How many times have you found yourself tapping away unconsciously on the desk or worktop, sometimes making a tune, sometimes not. Often we find ourselves doing this without really thinking about it, but other times it’s because we’ve heard a beat in our heads and want to replicate that sound out loud.
