The Monk Project is officially launched!
A generative musical instrument for composing, learning, and discovering new ideas.
After years of development and months of building this new website, I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that The Monk Project is now live!
What Is The TMA Device?
The TMA is not just another synth/sequencer module. It's a generative musical instrument designed to inspire through real-time experimentation. Its sequencer models are drawn from patterns found in maths, nature, and the universe - branching, spiralling, pulsing, repeating patterns that we see everywhere but have often stopped noticing.
But here's the thing: the TMA doesn't copy nature. It reimagines it. Hands-on and responsive, it doesn't write for you - it writes with you. A creative partner that helps you discover music you didn't know was in you.
Human Intelligence, Not Artificial
In a world obsessed with AI, The Monk Project builds for HI - Human Intelligence.
The TMA device isn't here to replace you. It's here to work with you. A conversation. A creative tool that supports your musical exploration without taking over.
It doesn't write for you - it writes with you.
Hear It In Action
Head over to the TMA Sequencer Models page and listen to unedited, real-time improvisations recorded using a simple MIDI keyboard and The TMA device.
What you'll hear is exactly what was played - each clip is a single live take, recorded directly into a DAW with no post-processing, editing, or arrangement. The performances demonstrate each of the sequencer models, showing just how expressive and musical this instrument can be.

A Personal Journey
This has been years in the making. Years of writing code, circuit design, sound exploration, and obsessive refinement. The TMA is the result of everything I've learned about synthesis, music, composition, and what makes creativity truly flow.
I built this because I wanted a tool that would surprise me. Something that would take my musical ideas and push them somewhere unexpected. And now, I get to share it with you.
