About

Matter²

Our Purpose

At Matter², we believe that technology can enhance the physical connection between string players and their instruments. We aim to create tools that empower violinists and violists to deepen their musical practice—combining traditional playing techniques with modern sensory feedback. The ASR is just the first step in our journey to reimagine practice tools for string players.

How We Got Here

The product is the result of years of development and testing, driven by the need for a tool that could bridge rhythm, resonance, and physical sensation—helping players not only hear the music but feel it resonate through their instrument and body.

Looking Ahead

We see the ASR as the beginning of a new way to practice and perform. We’re committed to expanding the possibilities for violinists and violists by developing tools that support your physical connection to music. Your feedback as an early adopter will help shape the future of ASR and our next generation of practice tools.
