Firsthand insight

Experience became
the starting point.

Matt’s background spans music, marching performance, motion-picture sound, and production. Traditional musicians could move with their instruments. Electronic performers were still working around tables, stands, and booths.

He began developing a wearable, adjustable platform to keep compatible instruments and controls supported and available for use while the performer moved.

02 / Learn

The broader vision

It began in music.
The idea travels further.

Pathfinder and Trailblazer serve mobile performance. WorkAbout extends the concept into mobile workstations, while accessories, powered options, custom configurations, and portable audio broaden the ecosystem.
