IFAH is a new family of instruments built around a simple idea: sound can be composed as an environment. Create, preserve and replay reproducible acoustic fields for listening, practice, performance and research. IFAH combines offline-first instruments, sealed acoustic experiences and new interfaces for interacting with sound from carefully composed fields to playing music with your hands.
IFAH started with a question: what happens if we stop treating sound only as content, songs, tracks, files and start treating it as an environment we can deliberately compose?
As a composer, I became increasingly interested in what exists between music, acoustics, perception and the spaces we inhabit. But most tools are designed either to produce music or to measure sound. I wanted an instrument for the territory in between: something you can experience first, compose with, preserve, reproduce and eventually examine.
That became IFAH.
We are starting with software instruments and reproducible acoustic experiences, but the larger ambition is to explore a new relationship with sound across creation, practice, performance, learning and research.
This launch is the beginning of that exploration. I’d love to hear what you experience, what you question, and where you think this could go.

Who hunted IFAH?
IFAH was hunted by Mars. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
