deserve their own
instrument.

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.

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.
