GhostWriter

A "marimba typewriter" fusing the modern computer keyboard with a direct descendant of the earliest of musical instruments.

This piece grew from my intention to bring a more visceral and "percussive" feel to the experience of computing, which often takes us totally into our heads for far too long.

It serves as a natural antidote to writer's block, freeing the creative writing spirit in a world of critical voices.
