First ScaleWell Grant Recipient: Michael Una
by Ziad Hussain
ScaleWell is happy to announce Michael Una of Unatronics as the recipient of the initial ScaleWell Grant. Una's submission surrounding the product development of "Beep-It" - an optical theremin - and other minimalist musical devices was selected by trustees from a pool of 43 applicants.
We are excited to see the results after several months of combining Michael's talent and enthusiasm with the ScaleWell provisions - $1000, some work space, and mentorship. During the grant period, expect to see some new releases from Unatronics including an awesome sequencer synthesizer demonstrated at the February 10th event. Be sure to stay connected with Michael's progress via this blog and his own website.
Below is a prototype of Michael's new synthesizer aptly called "Bleep-It":
