Users of peasant.synth are able to compose music in a very intuitive way, just displaying little elements, as could be stones, over a monitored surface. Through computer vision and generative audio techniques we establish a link between the rusticity of its interface, the complexity underlying the whole system and a direct engagement with the user.

Beneath the simplicity and humbleness of its set-up lies a chain of processes that includes visual analysis with computer vision and digital audio synthesis.

It was shown for the first time at Circuit Control'20, in Dresden, Germany. In october 2026 it was shown at MIXTUR, festival de creación sonora de Barcelona
