Stop-iT is both a visual and a musical sequencer.
It's a new musical creation tool, which
makes the sound more tangible.
By sticking post-it
notes on a surface, people create a musical
piece and mix animations.
The color of a post-it defines the type of instrument, and its vertical position, the pitch of the note.

Technology disappears behind paper, making it accessible to a wide range of people.
Each color = a sound + an animation.
Animations can be modified live. Here, they are switched to a black & white mode.
Animations are visually linked to sounds.
