Musicon is like:

Big barrel organ – you have options to change places, regulate the tempo of music as well as the number of stimuli.

High quality analog sound meant to support the development of artistic sensibility, but also contributs directly to the quality of experience and level of satisfaction in working with this device.

Contemporary version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Tamburo Meccanico. 500 years after the genius, this instrument inspires both children and adults to discover new stimuli.

An analog step sequencer which can be used for experimenting with composing music – just like the greatest music producers did at the turn of the 20th and 21st century.

An analog computer designed to resemble the Jacquard machine, which 200 years ago was part of the industrial revolution.

Laboratory for experimenting with sound, image, texture, designing a process based on the binary system, cyclicality and verifiability.

Musicon directly affects three senses: touch, hearing and sight with the instant feedback – everything is happening in front of the user, by his action and on his command. Musicon is followed by a rich base of knowledge and training created with the main target in mind – harmonious development through play, tailored to individual needs.

Musicon is a mini sound lab, a musical abacus and a project space – all in one. This unique device has been designed to give children an opportunity to experience music polisensorically and learn programming in a natural and friendly manner. In a world full of screens, it’s important to ensure kids have access to attractive analog educational tools.

A child who works with Musicon recovers their sense of empowerment, becomes a composer and desinger; gets a chance to analyse the outcomes of their work as they come, to modify the outcomes and independently decide if the effect matches their expectations.

Since the 1st of October we’ve been part of the Poland Pavilion exhibition at Expo 2020 Dubai. We are happy we’ve had the opportunity to go there in November to play some concerts, do music workshops and present ourselves at the EduTech seminar. Our success at Expo 2020 Dubai proves that music connects people and is a global language. Musicon gives every user the joy of music-making, from the very first contact with this creative machine. – says Kamil Laszuk, designer and maker of Musicon.

The Musicon Project was presented in cities all around the world including New York, Singapore, Lima, Berlin, Prague, Paris and Copenhagen, to name a few. It was awarded internationally: iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award, Core77, Polish Children’s Design Award, and was nominated to INDEX: design to improve life.

Musicon LLC is a polish startup who designed and produced the therapeutic, educational instrument Musicon and developed the Musicon Method. The company also conducts scientific research on therapeutic activities, in cooperation with polish universities.

Musicon is the Partner of the Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
