IFAH / AN INSTRUMENT COMPANY
Some experiences
deserve their own
instrument.
IFAH builds instruments for sound, practice
and other forms of authored experience.
A FORM BEFORE ITS PURPOSERESTING
SOUND IS WHERE WE BEGAN.THE FORM CHANGES THE BEHAVIOR
01THE THESIS
The form changes
the behavior.
A work has its own way of unfolding.
IFAH designs the conditions through which it can be entered, acted upon, remembered and returned to.

made tangible.
Sound is our first territory.
These are the instruments you can enter today.

EDITIONS

given a life

A work can carry rules,
memory, time and ownership.
Today, .soma Editions preserve a composed acoustic work for the Player. Expanded publishing and ownership tools are in development.

04COMMISSIONS
Some instruments
do not exist yet.
A commission begins with something that already has its own logic — a method, work or practice. IFAH develops the instrument around it.
Your method remains yours.
We give its existing logic a form.

The same thread.
A structure takes shape.
06IMPLEMENTED PRINCIPLES
Your work
should remain yours.
A point of view, carried through
to what the instruments do.
- LOCAL BY DEFAULT
- Studio documents and recordings stay on the maker’s machine.
- A WAY BACK
- Player keeps library history, field state and preferences on the device.
- PORTABLE WORK
- .soma documents can be saved and reopened in compatible IFAH instruments.
No advertising trackers or analytics in the instruments.
Licensing, checkout and inquiry have their own disclosed data flows.
