03 · The clave

Everything starts with the clave.

Five parts of a son montuno, each on its own lane. Press play, mute an instrument, or tap a cell to change the pattern. This is what playing inside the band feels like.

04 · PlaySense

Step into the session. Miami, at dusk.

The sun just set over Biscayne Bay and the band is ready. Notes travel down the pier to your instrument, and PlaySense listens to every hit you play.
