SECTION 01 — PRIMARY INSTRUMENT · MODEL SC-01 · FLAGSHIP
Teach interactive music. Visually.
No program teaches interactive music — the thing every modern game runs on. ScoreCanvas is the hands-on courseware that does: students compose an adaptive music system on a node graph, hear every state and transition live in the browser, and turn in the whole assignment as one URL. Real Wwise and FMOD export. NASM-aligned curricula. Built by an 18-year game-music veteran, now teaching the course he wishes he'd had.

SECTION 04 — OPERATOR'S NOTES
I've spent 18+ years designing music systems for games at PlayStation Studios — The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Journey. Grammy-nominated, BAFTA-winning work that taught me one thing: the best music happens when you build the right system and get out of its way.
Back Pocket Music is that philosophy outside the studio — tools at the intersection of music theory, acoustics, and AI. If a tool should exist and doesn't, build it.
