PLAY WITH A WORLD OF NEW SOUNDS

Ekwe™ is a mobile-based music platform which brings a new level of ease to digital music creation.

EXPLORE, IMPROVISE, CREATE

By combining a library of 150 sampled authentic musical instruments from around the world with contemporary electronic loops and instruments, accessed through an intuitive compositional canvas, creators can easily explore, edit, create, collaborate, and share their compositions.

LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF INSTRUMENTS AS YOU EXPLORE THEIR UNIQUE SOUND.

Ekwe’s Core Music Library gives learners instant exposure to instruments from around the world, as well as contemporary electronic sounds, and puts the ability to play them at their fingertips.

DESIGNED BY MUSICIANS AND EDUCATORS FOR CREATORS OF THE FUTURE.

“At Ekwe, we prioritize access and equity in music creation. Unlike most Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), we have eliminated the steep learning curve and narrow stylistic assumptions. Our goal is to lead at the intersection of playing and learning, with a global representation of music as our centerpiece. We believe in celebrating the richness of diverse voices and the culture of every creator.”

Michael Cain, Cofounder and CEO of Ekwe

The bespoke audio engine invented for Ekwe allows for easy MIDI editing as well as touch screen interaction, making Ekwe both a compositional tool and a playable instrument. No tool for original composition would be complete without the ability to record external voice and acoustic instruments, which in Ekwe can be added directly to the compositional canvas alongside MIDI instruments and sample loops.

BOTH COMPOSITIONAL TOOL AND PLAYABLE INSTRUMENT
